‘For children it’s been a year filled with many new words, starting with Corona, Coronavirus and Covid, and now more recently, Vaccine -- the word that is on everyone’s lips if not on their arms!,' says Tina Narang, Publisher, HarperCollins Children's Books.

'The Germ Academy' by Rea Malhotra Mukhtyar and illustrated by Shahena Zaveri published earlier this year talks about 'the baddest of the baddies - Covie'. As Covie goes about conquering the world he is stopped in his tracks by The Soap Squad.

We now have another hero with us - the vaccine against COVID-19. 'In V for Vaccine', Veni, Vidi and Vici explain all things vaccine to us.

'V for Vaccine' answers common questions about this timely topic, providing easy-to-understand information for young readers in a simple question-and-answer format.

Dr. Gagandeep Kang, Professor of Microbiology, Christian Medical College, says, 'This engaging and appealing book leads us through questions and answers that show us how we can use vaccines to protect us.'

'The informative text is accompanied by colourful and quirky illustrations that we hope will take the pain out of the prick even as it highlights the importance of vaccination for children', says Tina Narang.
