Mama, My Hero – By Anthea Maseka
Anthea Maseka was inspired by her daughter-in-law, who worked as an ICU nurse while pregnant during the COVID-19 pandemic, to write a children’s book, “Mama, My Hero”.
Mama, My Hero highlights the realities of the current pandemic and the magic of a uniquely innocent perspective. This is the story of one day in the life of an intensive care unit nurse working during the COVID-19 pandemic, as told by her unborn baby.
She has been featured on CityTV, A Woman A Day YYC, and DrumhellerOnline.
More information about the book can be found on: http://www.ammaseka.com
