Linda Kohler Barnes Quaran Team

Annotation

Quaran Team is an artful exploration of the Covid- 19 experience through watercolor visuals and Haiku poems. The book is a delight for all ages and delightfully presents some of our shared experiences over the past few years. It offers a good humored, lively and imaginative way to open conversations between family and friends relating to memories and life changes and challenges. It opens with a moose realizing that the world has changed, and masks are now required. A flamingo carrying a mask heads off for Spring break and a woodpecker gets coughed-shamed. Thirty original animals depict situations that we in our wildest imaginations never thought we would encounter. The book wins with all ages as it evokes our own new reality and helps prompt our conversations with family and friends about our feelings and recollections about these profound events.
