Buying Guide: “Good Morning Zoom” is a great stocking stuffer for those who work from home
Nearly everyone born after Margaret Wise Brown’s classic children’s picture book Goodnight Moon was released grew up with a copy on their childhood bookshelf, so parodies of the book are nothing new. But Good Morning Zoom by Lindsay Rechler takes a satirical stab at 2020 and takes the reader on a lyrical journey through the “new normal” of pandemic life. Here’s why it’s the perfect stocking stuffer for anyone working from home this year:
1) It’s poignant at a time when we’re missing our families.
While Zoom holidays will never be the same as in person gatherings, this book is at once funny and heartwarming. The rhymes about isolating with family, Zoom school, heroic healthcare workers, and connecting with loved ones when you can’t connect in person are the closest you can get to sending a work from home friend or family member a hug this year.
2) Frazzled parents will definitely relate.
The author of Good Morning Zoom, a managing director at a global investment bank and mother of two from Manhattan, found herself flexing new skills as a chef, coach, teacher and more while working from home. It’s the perfect gift for any work from home parent who found themselves working five extra jobs between their Zoom meetings.
3) Amazon customers are raving.
With an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars, Good Morning Zoom has racked up quite a few rave reviews on Amazon. From teachers who used this book as a tool to help students understand the new normal to work from home adults who bought the book as a keepsake to look back on strange times, this book struck exactly the right tone.
