About Baby virus by David Young
Looking for something for a 7- to 10-year-old girl to read by herself? This is a book she can read in 30 minutes of quiet time over Christmas; even with a short attention span.
She’ll thank you for it.
Enter the world of a virus. No angle here. Just looking at life from the virus’ angle.
Viruses have problems. The biggest is that they keep having heaps of baby viruses every day. So many, that viruses born on Tuesday are all called Tuesday and if they’re born on Wednesday, they’re all called Wednesday etc.
Every baby has to find a Human so they go on buses, to football matches and markets where there will be lots of Humans for them to jump onto.
The baby is about Baby Virus’ struggle to find a Human and all the twists and turns before eventually, “SUCCESS.”

Author Bio:
I have spent the last 7 years as a volunteer teacher in a migrant school in Thailand; very close to the border with Myanmar. Most of the students are refugees. Now I am back in New Zealand, trying my hand at writing and living in a house with 6 children between 3 and 13.
This book started life as a book for my students where English is their 2nd or 3rd language. They are looking for something where the English is easy to read but the subject matter is a bit older than frog princes and fairy godmothers. I was also trying for something light-hearted with a bit of humour. The result is a book that will meet those needs but also be satisfying for girls who are native English speakers and want to read for themselves instead of having someone read to them.
