Children's Author Gives Away Kids' Books for Free to Help Parents and Teachers During Pandemic

MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Few people were expecting the coronavirus pandemic or the changes it would make to everyday life. Kids aren't free from being impacted by its effects, being stuck at home without leaving for school or seeing friends. Children's book author Donald Jacobsen understands this well and is hoping his work will provide a positive relief to bored kids. In exciting news for parents and teachers, Jacobsen is offering free downloads of two of his books on his official website. Both books celebrate the efforts of medical workers, scientists, and other community helpers. The books are sure to help inspire positive thoughts and conversations with kids during these challenging times.

"I'm a dad, and I'm adjusting to the work-from-home thing, so I know what parents are going through right now," commented the clearly passionate Jacobsen. "I wanted to find some way to help struggling parents handle the stress of suddenly turning into full-time homeschool teachers, and this is one way that I knew I could help."

The free kids' books are titled "My Daddy the Amazing Nurse" and "Mighty Mommies and Their Amazing Jobs". Both books are written by Jacobsen and illustrated by Graham Evans. A third book by Jacobsen and Evans, "Celestina, the Astronaut Ballerina," is available for sale at Amazon.com.

In addition to being a children's author, Jacobsen is a proud husband, a father to two girls, and a registered nurse who lives and works in Memphis, Tennessee with his happy and supportive family.

His books have been met with enthusiasm, from parents and kids alike. Christine S., from Boston, recently said in a five-star review, "I am so happy with and grateful for these books and so is my daughter! Giving them away for free is really a wonderful gesture right now. It shows that even situations like this can bring the best out of people and those who care about others have a chance to shine."
