Embracing a Bright and Hopeful Future

Naples, FL. - October 15, 2025

Dr. Simone Gold’s book, The Plot Against the Kids: A True COVID Story, has been released. Published by Skyhorse Publishing, this children’s book is available now on Amazon!

The Plot Against the Kids tells the real story of the COVID-19 pandemic in a charming and accessible way. It will help young readers understand the tyranny that gripped our world in the absence of scientific curiosity, critical thinking, and common sense. This remarkable story will inspire kids to trust their own intuition, reject fear-based decision-making, and embrace a bright and hopeful future. Because after all, parents are meant for loving, children are meant for playing, and faces are meant for seeing!

In a statement about her book, Dr. Gold said, “The COVID pandemic was a horrifying time in our country, especially for young Americans. The assault on our constitutional freedoms was unprecedented and the tyranny we faced took a heavy toll on our Nation. Shining the light of truth on this dark time in history is critical. This was not the first health emergency and it will not be the last. This book teaches children how tyranny took shape during the COVID-era and equips them with the tools to think freely and stand proudly to protect their God-given rights. It will give them courage to rise up against any challenge when tyranny rears its ugly head in the future. Truth, not fear, will overcome deception.”

Sam and Kevin Sorbo, founders of Sorbo Studios, added, “This clever, well-illustrated allegory is a great way for parents to engage conversationally with their children about the frightening events of the recent crisis. Dr. Simone Gold speaks to children in a way that is both honest and uplifting - reminding them that they were made to live boldly, think clearly, and never be ruled by fear. For parents raising strong, resilient, freedom-minded children, this book is a must-read!”
