A heartwarming, feel-good story of friendship and overcoming adversity in a time of COVID, this is a book about community, givingback, and understanding the world around us through the power of generosity from debut author K. Ibura.

With one little announcement from their fourth-grade teacher, Shayla, Liam, Ben, and Ai's world turned upside down. Now, withschool on hold due to a strange virus that they don't quite understand, the only semblance of safety they feel is knowing that theyhave one another in their apartment complex.But as each of them head home and experience their own version of confinement, it becomes very real. And as their individualstruggles grow, they need each other now more than ever. Very soon, they discover that they're not the only ones who need alittle help.Banded together, the friends find ways to help others struggling in their building. And one by one, they do their part in making theirneighbors feel just a little bit safer. As the world becomes more complex, as protests take the streets, Shayla, Liam, Ben, and Aido everything they can to better understand the world around them and the people around them in order to discover the powerand comfort that understanding and generosity can bring.

K. Ibura was born as the middle child in a family of seven (five kids plus parents!) in New Orleans, Louisiana. When they werenโ€™t disagreeing about everything, K. Ibura and her siblings played competitive rounds of jacks and a card game called Crazy Eights. They also built insane obstacle courses throughout the house involving stacked chairs, sheets, and timers. Her parents were independent thinkers who filled the home with music, culture, and strong principles. Today, she lives in Brooklyn, where she makes art, writes, and does puzzles while her daughter cheers her on. To learn more about K. Ibura and her writing, visit kiburabooks.com.
