Overview

"Those Days...Those Days You Could Not Go to School is a rhyming Christian children's book and was written by Carrie Bryant-Render, who is the Director at Holy Cross Early Learning Center in Mahwah, New Jersey. She wrote the book because many of the parents at her school emailed her or commented on their Facebook page about how much their children missed their teachers, friends and coming to preschool during the 2020 Corona virus Pandemic. Ms. Carrie wanted to share a little sunshine with families and students while we are not able to physically attend school and be together. She hopes it will help them cope with the many emotions the youngsters have been feeling since we have had to mostly ""Stay at home"". Ms. Carrie's middle son, Luke Render, a ten year old 4th grader from Oakland, New Jersey, helped her with the illustrations of the book. Luke loves to draw and create things, so this was a fun project for them to work on together. The book could also serve as a tool for parents of young children who, in the future, might be missing school for an extended period of time due to an illness, family emergency, surgery, and so on. Ms. Carrie and Luke both hope that you all enjoy this rhyming book for youngsters during such trying times."
