Masks: A Lift-the-Flap Book

In this lift-the-flap board book that models mask-wearing, Hill follows a brown-haired, blue-eyed child throughout their day, from donning a dragon-printed mask and going to school, to tossing their mask in the washing machine at day’s end. In simple, interactive spreads (“Special delivery! Who is it?” one page reads. Beneath the figure’s liftable mask lies the answer: “My mail carrier!”), the book portrays proper mask positioning while assuring children that trusted adults and peers—teachers, friends, neighbors, and more—remain present beneath them. Bianda’s brightly colored, round-eyed digital busts feature on every page, highlighting characters of varying ability, age, and skin color, all of whom have a friendly, open appearance. A welcoming resource for the youngest mask wearers. Ages up to 3. (Mar.)
