When can I go back to school? - Anna Friend

When Can I Go Back to School?is
a reassuring journey through a child's common
worries and fears during the worldwide pandemic and beyond.

With his school shut and no one able to tell
him when it will re-open, Billy is worried about
what will happen next

Will things ever return to the way they were before?

Anna Friend wrote this book at the start of the pandemic to calm
her son and later asked her friend Jake Biggin to illustrate the
story. They self-published it on Amazon thinking it might help
some other families. They couldn't believe the response!

Now, with the help of Scholastic, this wonderful book is set to
help thousands more families struggling with anxious
