Bøger i Rainbows, Masks, and Ice Cream serien

The mysterious humming noise and the light coming from the living room are keeping the young protagonist of this story awake. To understand what is going on, she reaches the room where her mother is and realizes that she's busy sewing protective masks. She also finds out that from now on all essential workers and all those who have to commute to go to work, must wear a mask. Once the young lady's reluctance is won, and she resolves to wear a colorful mask made by her mother, she asks her to teach her how to sew. She wants to make a mask for her grandfather, who, touched by her gesture, hugs her tight as he walks in after his tiring shift at the hospital.

Como cualquier otro d├¡a, Noah Henry se est├í preparando para ir a la escuela, pero sus padres le avisan que est├í cerrada. Lamentablemente, el zool├│gico tambi├⌐n est├í cerrado, y tampoco podr├í jugar con sus amiguitos. La situaci├│n no cambia ni siquiera cuando, despu├⌐s de hablar con su maestra, ├⌐l y su hermano menor se lavan las manos como se les indica. Cuando sale a dar un paseo con su familia, nota que sus amigos han dibujado arco├¡ris en sus ventanas. Se dieron cuenta de que todos ten├¡an la misma incertidumbre, pero ahora esperan poder jugar juntos pronto otra vez. 

Las familias les han explicado a los peque├▒os protagonistas de esta historia que a partir de ahora todo mundo tendr├í que usar una m├íscara protectora, y que se les pedir├í que mantengan su distancia entre s├¡. A medida que las m├íscaras se compran y se entregan, los peque├▒os van a la helader├¡a, cada uno acompa├▒ado de su madre o su padre. Se divierten al ver a los adultos usando sombreros graciosos como un recordatorio de esta nueva regla. Sin embargo, el distanciamiento social y las m├íscaras no debilitar├ín su esp├¡ritu, al contrario: su entusiasmo se fortalecer├í al verse y saludarse entre s├¡ mientras hacen fila afuera de la helader├¡a. Despu├⌐s de que, uno por uno, entran y compran su helado, todos regresan a sus respectivos hogares para disfrutarlo.
