Some even offer their help and join her on her quest to find out just what has caused the illness and the strange cloud.

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.
