First-Person Stories of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic began less than a decade ago, but it already feels like an integral moment in modern world history. So many people have stories to share from the pandemic, and exploring those stories allows us to better understand how world events affect everyday people. Readers are invited to explore first-person stories of people whose lives were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, learn the context behind those stories, and think critically about the personal side of history and current events.
