How would you describe the pandemic in just six words?

Today, we talk to Larry Smith, the founder of Six-Word Memoir and hear about his new book, A Terrible, Horrible, No Good Year. It features six-word memoirs from students, teachers and parents navigating the pandemic.

Is your child getting the vaccine?
