The Coronavirus pandemic has cast a pall of sadness and fear over the world. Social Distancing, Masks, Sanitizer, Self-Isolation, Contact Tracing, Quarantine are the buzzwords of our world. In social media and TV, all we can see and read are the mounting numbers of the infected and the dead. Perhaps, the only good thing the pandemic has brought is the stark reality that we are equal citizens of Planet Earth. What happens in the East affects the West, and what happens in the tiniest villages affect the biggest cities irrespective of geography. In our armory of fighting back against this adversary, the vaunted guns of war are all silent; and the generals have lost their voices. The only weapons that count are Dr. Fauci's hypodermic needles and good old-natured laughter. Nothing strengthens the immune system faster than a bout of laughter. KOJO'S HEYDAY is an anti-COVID-19 book, for packed in it are laughter moments to lift your spirits and boost your immune system. The story tracks Kojo as he thrashes through life causing 'good trouble' to adults and entertaining his friends as he only could. Among his wisecracks: A journey of a thousand miles begins with a bus fare...... Je suis, tu suis, il suit...... Friday to Thursday is not equal to Thursday to Friday (when asked to explain why he was charging a higher 'coming' fare than the 'going' fare). Ananse stories have been in the folklore of countries in Africa and the Caribbean for generations, but Ananse the Zookeeper is appearing in print for the first time. Also, Ananse did not believe in COVID. That is until he was stricken with the dreaded disease. After which he paraphrased the Biblical injunction: 'The fool says in his heart, there is no COVID'.
