Child Voices on When the World Closed

For us, children’s responses to the book When the World Closed are a better measure of success than any sales figures, donations made, awards given, or expert praise. We are humbled and grateful for the opportunity to share our story with the people who most needed to hear it, and are even more grateful for its positive reception. Helping children through this difficult time has given our work purpose and meaning. We hope to continue to do so as the world begins opening back up again.

THANK YOU, readers, for taking the time to share your thoughts and feelings about this book with us — you have helped make Finley and Tate feel less alone (even though they are still being cautious about gathering in large groups and not wearing masks indoors).

If you know any other children who would like to reach out with comments or questions, please encourage them to do so by emailing whentheworldclosed@gmail.com.
