About this title

Synopsis

The book was written to share one mother's experience having a child during the global pandemic.

The excitement of having a new baby and sharing the joy with the people you love the most is something all parents look forward to. Unfortunately, circumstances dramatically changed overnight for parents of babies born in 2020-21. From delivery logistics to bringing a new baby home, no one could have imagined what pandemic-era parents and their newborns would have to endure.

Although some might say that the challenges made them stronger, new parents were left to manage their own feelings of missing and sharing those special moments with their loved ones while raising newborns. Dealing with all of the unknowns, along with new rules to keep newborns safe and families protected, was difficult, to say the least.

Parents had to make dramatic adjustments to be safe and to deal with the ever-changing world around them. Regardless, all wanted to create and keep special memories. Each new family had to find special ways to share precious and unique moments involving their little treasures. From socially distant visits outdoors or through windows, to meeting grandparents on computers or experiencing important life events on Zoom, each new step brought new challenges.

While the book touches upon difficulties, it ultimately aims to focus on the light at the end of the tunnel - including all of the wonderful moments parents can look forward to with their little bundles of joy.

This is a keepsake storybook that bonds parents who brought newborns home during 2020-21. The lockdown kept us apart, yet we all shared in the same bittersweet moments of having a newborn during a pandemic - a 100-year occurrence that brought with it heightened emotions, inspiring stories, and makeshift strategies just to get through what were, "once upon a time," normal tasks of life.
