MWSA Review
Warren Martin tells a sweet story in his children's picture book Pandemic Adventures with Pop Pop. As the recent Covid-19 pandemic swept in and disrupted life, its effects didn't miss the children in
this world. School was canceled, playgrounds and pools were shut down. In this book, the author tells the story of a grandfather stepping in and filling the void with a variety of simple adventures
on which he takes his grandchildren. It's a short book that will appeal to children, especially those who like to be read to.

Author's Synopsis
This third book in the series fast-forwards four years to the 2020 pandemic with a unique approach to that unprecedented year. While activities were restricted for children, parents and grandparents found ways to keep going. Pandemic Adventures with Pop Pop follows the unique way Pop Pop found to entertain his Grandmen Dean and Levi. During the pandemic, or as Grandman Dean called it, “The Sickness,” Pop Pop found fun ways to keep his Grandmen safe, educating them while also creating positive and fun memories.
The Adventures with Pop Pop series of children’s books covers adventures with Pop Pop and his Grandmen. Each book takes us on an adventure to places like Walmart, preschool, and adventures during the pandemic. Future books will cover more adventures, like a birthday party with a surprise visit by Louie the mascot from the St. Louis Blues, Grant’s Farm, the arrival of little brother, and many more.
