In 2020 a dangerous new virus spread all over the world and it can only be combatted through
joint societal actions that make great demands on all of us. But what do the terms virus and
pandemic even mean? Through her colourful pictures and short informative texts Ziska Riemann
explains to her preschool and primary schoolaged audience why it is that during a pandemic we
need to adjust our everyday lives to confront the new challenges and how despite the many
restrictions children and their families in fact have an opportunity to discover their
surroundings afresh. The aim of course is that we all remain healthy or recover successfully
so that soon we will be able to play together learn work and travel freely once again.
