Henry the Hedgehog and the Hysterical Hullabaloo Shae Boguslawski

Written by two medical school students, this whimsical rhyming book follows young Hedgehog Henry Penri as he encounters the event of a lifetime: a pandemic of laughter fits sweeping across his little town. The story of Henry the Hedgehog and the Hysterical Hullabaloo is an extended metaphor for the COVID-19 pandemic that has shaped every aspect of our lives in the past year. This book provides a chance to unpack tough-to-tackle topics as pandemics, disease spread, social distancing, and hygiene practices in a fun and friendly format. Shae and Dora envisioned this book as a catalyst of educational conversations to help young minds process changes around them during uncertain times.
