Sitwe Joseph Fights COVID - Paperback

by Twesigye Jackson Kaguri (Author)

Sitwe Joseph Fights COVID is the story of a young boy's experience of the pandemic in rural Uganda and his determination to realise his dreams. Follow Sitwe and his friends as they navigate the challenges of school closures and learn about how to protect themselves and their families from COVID-19. The pandemic has affected us all; Sitwe's community finds comfort and solidarity through participation in the Nyaka run, joining runners in New York and Kampala, as Uganda begins to move forward, reopening schools and reducing restrictions on daily life. This is Kaguri's fifth children's book and the third featuring Sitwe Joseph. It offers both an insight into the experience of COVID-19 from the perspective of a child in rural Uganda, and shares a sense of hope and agency as readers see how Sitwe is able to positively influence the lives of others, whilst staying true to his own dream of an education and a brighter future.
