Book excerpt: Key Selling Points Author and illustrator Marla Lesage is a registered nurse and the mother of two young children learning to adjust to wearing masks in public. This book features different types of masks, including one with a clear panel being used by characters who rely on reading lips to communicate. Mandatory mask-wearing laws are spreading across Canada and the United States as science supports the practice to reduce the spread of germs. Normalizing mask-wearing as the economy reopens requires a behavioral and cultural shift; what we teach our children is imperative to this shift. Marla Lesage is also the author and illustrator of Pirate Year Round (2019).
