I wrote this book in 2011, which has yet to be published. 

As things have changed in 2020, turbulent about

 how hand washing is much more severe. 

One day, my granddaughters were washing their hands, and they both were trying to count how long it would take. I decided to rewrite this story to remind everyone of the importance of hand washing. I dedicate this story to Stefania and Emma, as this book would be more about them.

Once upon a story, there were two sisters named Stefania and Emma. Stefania is independent and usually takes care of her little sister. She can sometimes be bossy and likes to teach her sister rules and everything she knows. On the other hand, Emma craves attention and likes to play pranks on her sister. She talks a lot and asks endless questions, but these are lovable qualities. She even says she'll make a picture, although she's only two and a half years old, which is more typical of a four-year-old's behaviour.

Arriving at Grandma's house for the weekend.

Stefania and Emma are calling.

"We are here!"

 As they walk into the house, Stefania says to Emma

“Emma come wash your hands!"

"Yes with lots bubbles!"

Having Lunch.

After lunch, Grandma tells the children to "wash their hands again."

"They  are not sticky look!"

"Our hands are sticky Emma, they need to be washed again, see look!"

Stefania picks up her stool to be first at the sink while Emma drags her stool to join her as Grandma watches.

“I’m first!"

"The teacher told us to sing a song when you are washing your hands."

While Grandma watches, she emphasizes the importance of handwashing to stay safe.

Hand washing is crucial not only to remove stickiness but also to get rid of germs.

"You have your own towel Emma."

"My towel first!"

"Emma, don't touch your nose.

You got to wash your hands again!"

"I am not touching my nose!"

Emma rewashing her hands and singing the ABC song.
