Covid Warriors — Andrea Harris

In November 2020 I was laid off under a COVID-19 Restructuring Plan. Moved from LA to DC in January. Diagnosed with COVID-19 in late February. Spent 31 days in hospital and 60+ days outpatient recovering. These series of events lead me to reevaluate my life and what is most important to me. So I decided to leave a 20+ year career in finance to pursue something that I love...WRITING CHILDREN'S BOOKS!!! I am extremely happy to be pursuing a career that will be giving back to the community and enriching the lives of children.I am please to announce the launch of my first book; COVID WARRIORS/ LUNG SAVERS. During my stay in the hospital I was impacted greatly by two respiratory therapist who saved my life. I became very concerned with how young children are being affected by the noise of COVID-19. This book provides young children, age 0-7, with a way to process what COVID-19 and offers a segue for parents to lead discussions about this awful disease. In, addition the book offers young girls a peek at a profession that they may never hear of. Respiratory therapists are at the heart of COVID-19 recovery.
