Her daughter and youngest son, Grayson, have remained perfectly healthy without Covid-19 vaccinations. Yet, on the heels of Grayson entering first grade, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced a mandate that only vaccinated children could attend school in NY. More than 26,000 children were banned from public and private education.
Angela was forced to quit her career to be a home-schooling mom. She was especially concerned about the impact that rejection and resulting ostracism by other children had on Grayson.
Thus was born I am Not Contagious, an illustrated children's book which explores a child's frustration and the wisdom to know there is nothing wrong with him or her. The book is a heartwarming story from a youngster's perspective, filled with confidence, compassion and courage.
