’Wearing a Mask Says I Love You’: Gov. Andrew Cuomo inspired Jen Welter’s COVID-19 kid’s book https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUrSQ66ie4A 7-22-20

From the description of this DEMONIC project:

Dr. Jen Welter’s coronavirus-inspired children’s book, "Wearing a Mask Says I Love You," got its name from one of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s COVID-19 briefings. "You wear the mask not for yourself; you wear the mask for me. It’s a sign of respect to other people," Gov. Cuomo said during a press briefing on May 3. "You know how you show love? By wearing a mask, please." On the other side of the country, Cuomo’s words resonated with a new Los Angeles resident who had coincidentally moved cross-country on March 19, the same day a statewide shelter-in-place order was issued. "Timing is everything, right?" Welter joked. Welter said Cuomo’s "informative and human" approach to "troubling times" inspired her to find a "positive, proactive way" for kids to see masks as "part of the solution and not a punishment." "The mask needed its hero story," Welter told USA TODAY. Her children’s book, "Wearing a Mask Says I Love You," was published in June and available for purchase on Amazon.
