(3) PS "Who was inside? // I was inside." Without specifically mentioning COVID-19, a young white girl discusses what her life is like during the early days of the pandemic: "I was inside my room with a clock and my dog and a picture of Nan... // Everyone was inside." In addition to the ways she stays connected with others, she addresses the tedium, the uncertainty, and her hopes about returning to normal. Joyner's digitally rendered illustrations help convey the main character's moods. Bright pops of color enliven the black line drawings; the scene is muted when "...I felt sad inside." Overall, the message is a positive one, which, two years in, is still needed.

(3) K-3 An elderly knitter, a cat, a baby, and a dog each find pleasure in a pink hat before it reaches a girl who wears it to what looks like the 2017 Women's March (the event is mentioned only in an endnote), where "everyone else wore one, too!" Naturally, readers needn't be politically aware to enjoy following the pink hat's misadventures across otherwise black-and-white pages.
