PANDEMIC 2020: A 9 Year Old's Perspective
LOUISVILLE, KY — What began as a nine-year-old girl writing daily thoughts on index cards has culminated in an internationally recognized literary achievement. Louisville resident Prisha Hedau is now celebrated among an elite group of published child authors globally following the release of her book, PANDEMIC 2020 – A 9 Year Old's Perspective.
“I didn’t write this book to make money,” Prisha shares. “While a portion is set aside for my future education, my primary goal was to give back to the Dare to Care Food Bank and support COVID-19 relief organizations in my community. A century from now, I want people to read this book and truly understand what life was like in 2020.”
The book seamlessly bridges the gap between an emotional memoir and a practical handbook. It details how the pandemic transformed global societal norms—from remote learning to altered shopping habits and social isolation—while offering readers actionable tips on establishing healthy habits and finding success during trying times.
Reflecting a maturity beyond her years, Hedau's primary focus remains philanthropic. "I wrote this book to be able to give back to Dare to Care Food Bank and to COVID-related organizations to help people in my community," she stated, noting her desire to leave a legacy that readers 100 years from now can look back on. Well-organized and deeply earnest, the book encourages a universal audience to accept life's unpredictable moments and embrace the future.
