PAWTUCKET, R.I. - s4story -- The COVID-19 pandemic has taken the world by storm and changed almost every part of our lives. And it is younger children who have had the most difficult time adapting to these changes and understanding them.

Inspired by this reality, author Sandi Martineau has written Super 19 – a book for children under age 12 about why they need to wear a face covering. The children in the story show how powerful it can be to help others by wearing a simple piece of fabric on their faces like a superhero, and it relays the message that anyone can do their part no matter how young they might be.

It is also the author's hope that one day, after the pandemic passes, the book can be tucked away and saved in a family "time capsule" to be taken out and read to their own children so the next generation can see how they did their part to keep others safe.
