CCC- Pup stays Inside for Months and Days with Candace and Laena Mae

In Johannesburg there is a young girl staring out her window and wondering what her friends down the road and the ones across the world are doing during lockdown. She sits down to create something to take control over the helplessness that Covid and quarantine have caused. It becomes a charming, thoughtful and insightful book for children AND adults. It is sweet and it is poignant. Laena Mae and her mother Candace speak thoughtfully and eloquently about the real struggle the world's children are experiencing during this challenging time. There are so many changes happening and we as adults often expect our children to just "roll with the punches" when in reality our focus needs to be more intense on their mental health. Knowing that there are other people out there JUST LIKE YOU that feel just like you do helps a child feel safer. Candace and Laena Mae have created a site for children to share their own stories and creativity Insidewestayed.com and proceeds from the book go to SOS Children's Villages and other children's charities globally.
