Hi Rachel and Everyone, These books aren't specifically Jewish, but they do show people wearing masks: https://globalhealth.emory.edu/_includes/documents/sections/programs/covid-19_helpers_bacon_lee_eghi.pdf https://nycdoe.libguides.com/COVID-19ebooks/free https://nhfv.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/WearingAMaskStoryforChildren.pdf
They are featured in a very long (and growing) multi-lingual list of books compiled by Patricia Sarles, Library Operations and Instructional Coordinator, Brooklyn and Staten Island New York City Department of Education Department of Literacy, Library Services, and AIS. For more information about how to talk to kids about the virus, you can look at the *Healing Library kit: Coping with the Coronavirus and Covid-19,* which I put together and is posted on my library's website: http://stratfordlibrary.org/healing-library-coping-with-coronavirus/ The resources provided are mostly local to Connecticut, but there are other materials, including videos, that anyone can use. Please feel free to share these resources.
