Lockdown Looms: Reggie’s Birthday Party will support and educate children about what they have been through throughout the pandemic.

The group falls in line with Alexander’s love of music and his former aspiration to be a musician himself. Another child had their grandparents pass during the pandemic, so he incorporated that into the narrative too. A tale with the interwoven themes of reliance and kindness, Banji Alexander has written a book that can be enjoyed by all members of the family.One minute I was teaching, the next minute, I was on the biggest news stations here: BBC News, ITV News, Sky News, Guardian Newspaper. We like that one of the main messages in the book is kindness, something we have been struggling to teach our two little ones with. With over 5 million deaths from COVID-19 by the end of 2021, it did not seem like there was not much positivity in the air. A tale with the interwoven themes of resilience and kindness, Banji Alexander has written a book which can be enjoyed by all members of the family. Children may not want to talk much about how they are feeling but books like this can offer so much guidance and show that they are not alone with how they are feeling which is really important.

It was a way to let students know someone was hearing their problems and letting them know they weren’t the only ones going through challenges.
