This Spring Festival is doomed to be a peculiar one. Without the noise of former festivals, without visiting friends and relatives and dining together with friends, instead，people stay at home to amuse themselves(seek their own amusement).
All this is easy for adults to understand and accept. However, for children, they may not know what has happened.
They can’t go the place they want to go and see their friends they want to see.And they can’t keep an appointment with the feast. After staying at home for a long time, some children may feel confused, unhappy and even cry and scream with their parents.
Today, the editor wants to recommend parents the follwing picture book which can tell children what is happening and what they should do. Parents can print this painting book to read with children together. Please believe in your children, they must understand the challenges the adults are facing!
