Months into the coronavirus pandemic and parents are still very concerned about the impact Covid-19 will have on their kids. New questions pop up every day—Can my child have play dates? Should I send them back to school if it opens? How much can they learn at home? Will they be affected emotionally? The list goes on and on. Being committed to our community, we have called on some experts to help answer these questions.

These virtual event sessions are open to all family members, caregivers, partners, and customers.
During each session, we will be giving away the authors' books to some lucky participants.
