Description : With one little announcement from their fourth-grade teacher, Shayla, Liam, Ben, and Ai's world turned upside down. Now, with
school on hold due to a strange virus that they don't quite understand, the only semblance of safety they feel is knowing that they
have one another in their apartment complex.
But as each of them head home and experience their own version of confinement, it becomes very real. And as their individual
struggles grow, they need each other now more than ever. Very soon, they discover that they're not the only ones who need a
little help.
Banded together, the friends find ways to help others struggling in their building. And one by one, they do their part in making their
neighbors feel just a little bit safer. As the world becomes more complex, as protests take the streets, Shayla, Liam, Ben, and Ai
do everything they can to better understand the world around them and the people around them in order to discover the power
and comfort that understanding and generosity can bring.
