Coronavirus PSA: How to Fight the New Bad Guy in Town by Jason Reynolds

There’s a new bad guy in town and his name is COVID-19, aka Coronavirus. In a special PSA for The Story Seeds Podcast, Jason Reynolds, the National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature, gives kids (and grownups!) eight everyday tips for fighting germs and staying healthy, plus an example of a recipe homemade hand sanitizer (for all those slime makers out there). 3/16/2020 Note: This episode has been updated to reflect the new social distancing guidelines. When listening, please alert your kids that in order to prevent the spread of Coronavirus, now is a good time to hang out with your FAMILY in cozy, germ-free places like YOUR OWN HOME, not to go to your friends homes or have your friends over. Please practice #SocialDistancingNow
