The young protagonists of this story are told by their families that from now on everybody will have to wear a protective mask, and that they will be asked to keep their distance from each other. As the masks are purchased and delivered, the young people set out to the ice-cream shop, each one accompanied by a parent. They are amused to see adults wearing funny hats as a reminder of this new rule. However, social distancing and masks will not turn their spirit off and their enthusiasm is further reinforced by seeing and waiving at each other as they queue up. Once everyone has walked into the shop in turn, and bought their ice cream, they all go back to their respective homes to enjoy their gelato.

Industry Reviews

The drawings are exquisite.

- Sam Gross, New Yorker Cartoonist

Deana Sobel Lederman has the gift of writing for children with warmth and clarity and charm. Her drawings are the perfect counterpoint

to her writing and in their simplicity bring to mind Jean de Brunhoff.

- Victoria Roberts, New Yorker Cartoonist

'Masks' gently introduces the concept of wearing masks to young children through a clever series of conversations between animal families. The author/illustrator creates a world where wearing masks, for a short time, is something we can do together. She has imagined a world where we can stay connected, but apart, and reminds us to end the day with ice cream!

- Robin Cogan, School Nurse.

Conceived during the "Great Pause," Deana Sobel Lederman's Rainbows, Masks, and Ice Cream trilogy brought us joy and a brilliant way to talk to our children about the virus. To be able to read these stories in our home language also meant they felt closer to our heart.

- Dr. Fabrice Jaumont, author and educator.
