Once Upon A Virus Kindle Edition
And this book is proof of that. This book is a GIFT to all of us who survived the year 2020, a MEMORIAL for those who died fighting this dreadful pandemic and CLOSURE for those of us still struggling to live with the scars and aftermaths of this tumultuous experience. In this ANTHOLOGY, I have collected different emotions that we have at one point of our lives experienced and may still experience as COVID continues to exist and made them into POEMS.
Inspired by my own personal struggles and triumphs, the stories of others and the experiences of those who let me into the sanctuary of their thoughts and minds, I have birthed these poems. From MENTAL HEALTH BATTLES to LOSS, ANXIETY, FRIENDSHIPS, DOUBTS, SELF DISCOVERY and even LOVE, there isn't a single emotion this pandemic spurred that was excluded from this piece. This is me trying to show us how strong we are, how valid our emotions albeit confusing they might have been and that surviving COVID is no joke. For every single one of us CHANGED in ways we never thought possible.
This is a documentation of our valid emotions and a reminder that because we lived in the year of the VIRUS, there isn't a thing we cannot SURVIVE dear soldiers. So, I'm hoping that as you read through the sincere, utterly naked and raw emotions poured out in this book, you feel a sense of comradeship and peace that ONCE UPON A VIRUS you were not alone. You and I, all of us, we SURVIVED.
And for those who didn't, BADGES of honor, they fought bravely as much as they could.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2022Once Upon a Virus accurately represents the emotional side of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is very relatable, as no matter what part of the world you resided in during the COVID-19 pandemic, you had to deal with the changes and struggles all the same. The uncertainties, the challenges, the hope, and the hustle to adapt with a changing world... all captured in this beautiful anthology by JB Favour. As of the writing of this review, we are still experiencing these emotions as we navigate the fallout and adjustments to living in a post-COVID society. Once Upon a Virus remains highly relevant to us all. I HIGHLY recommend this book. You will not be disappointed.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2022Everything that we have been through or experience as a country. Once upon a virus will have you sitting here like ima read one more page but if you like to read like myself it's going to be hard to put this book down.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2022Once upon a virus, everyone needs to hear these collections of all the emotions we all have experienced in the history of mankind. So when I received my copy, I started reading it only a few pages into the book I called my eight year old son, and we indulged. The way JB Favour is able to translate these emotions into these poems so diligently, so from the heart and still managed to make my son and I smile is incredible.
I can’t wait for what’s next!
