Discussing the intricacies of the pandemic with children can be hard. We at JFS of Metrowest are trying to change that. JFS has made Lily the Llama, a children’s book on vaccines written by JFS volunteer Emma Rashes, accessible in English, Spanish, and Portuguese with hard copies and video read-alouds, thanks to translations by our CEO, Lino Covarrubius, and Immigrant Services team.
Earlier this week, JFS Marketing and Community Engagement specialist Zach Blankstein and JFS intern Mary Laprade visited Framingham and Marlborough businesses to discuss JFS’s COVID-19 safety initiative. They distributed over 250 flyers and 70 copies of Lily the Llama to help spread accurate, easy-to-understand vaccine information to Metrowest children and parents.
