There's No Monster Outside: It's a Virus
By Beverly J. Irby, Rafael Lara-Alecio, Nahed Abdelrahman, Fuhui Tong, & Pam Schiller | Illustrated by Debbie Weekly
When several Texas A&M College of Education & Human Development colleagues began hearing about how the COVID-19 pandemic was affecting children, they decided to create something that might bring them comfort and help explain the current situation.
There’s No Monster Outside: It’s a Virus aims to relate to all of the changes that have occurred in children’s lives because of the virus, and explain why we’re doing things a little differently at the moment — and that those changes don’t have to be scary.

LYRICS
CHORUS
Wash your hands / Wash your hands
Wear your mask / Wear your mask
Keep your hands from your face / Keep your hands from your face
Wash your hands / Wash your hands
Wear your mask / Wear your mask
Virus, virus go away / So my friends can come and play
VERSE 1
I look in the air / I look on the ground
I look for my friends / and then I turn around
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE 2
I stamp my feet / I wave my hands
I blink my eyes / I march with the band
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE 2
I stamp my feet / I wave my hands
I blink my eyes / I march with the band
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE 3
I look for the virus down on the floor
Maybe I will find it behind the door
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
