Here’s what some readers had to say about the Virus and Us:
“What a treasure! These strange times of coping with the coronavirus test relationships. Reading Matt’s letter to his 7-year-old son gives a perspective that will not only be their memory, but it offers a window of enlightened reflection for all of us!”
– Diane Nilan
“In a nutshell I’m grateful that my children, who are close to the age of the author’s son, will have a poignant and reflective book to help them better understand what this has really been like for many of us. Consider it a time capsule and buy the book. You won’t regret it.”
– Justin K
The Virus and Us is available on Amazon for $4.99.
