The book was written by Kate Messner and illustrated by Alexandra Bye.
“There’s so much in this story that will resonate with kids today — riding his Schwinn bicycle around Brooklyn to deliver prescriptions from his dad’s pharmacy, playing stickball in the streets of a neighborhood where he learned to get along with all different kinds of people, and always asking questions about the world,” Messner told CNN.
The book, published by Simon & Schuster, was approved by Fauci, and he and his team were consulted during its wiring, CNN reported.
The book is set to retail for $17.90. Click here for more information on where it will be sold once published.
