Zalipher and the Vanishing Color of Karalasia

Once upon a beautiful day in Karalasia, Zalipher discovers a terrible

blight of colorlessness has come upon the land. A dark grey fog makes

everyone, including her best friend Pooker, sick and colorless.

Determined to save her friend and the jungle, Zalipher embarks on a

journey toward the mountain from where the smoke has come. Along

the way, she meets the different creatures of the jungle, some more

cautious than others about the sickness. Some even offer their help and

join her on her quest to find out just what has caused the illness and

the strange cloud. Zalipher braves the eerie fog, sinking sand, great

canyons, mountains, heights, and terrifying creatures. With the help of

her new friends, she discovers the secret to stopping the sickness and

cures Karalasia and all the creatures that live in it. Zalipher and the

Vanishing Color of Karalasia is a timely allegory for the recent COVID-19

epidemic, purposed to more accessibly explain the start and spread of

disease and the events of the last several years to children. The book

features creatures with different perspectives and approaches to the

pandemic and highlights the value of the hardwork and sacrifice by the

medical community to end it.
