Coronavirus - discussions with young children

CoronaVirusEasyReadGuideArtist and illustrator Manuela Molina  has produced a 12 page easy-read PDF booklet that may help start a good shared conversation with a child about COVID-19, and may help reduce their anxieties.

She writes:

Dear families and educator all over the world, 
I have created this short book to support and reassure our children, under the age of 7, regarding the COVID-19. This book is an invitation for families to discuss the full range of emotions arising from the current situation. It is important to point out that this resource does not seek to be a source of scientific information, but rather a tool based on fantasy. My recommendation is to print this material so children can draw on it. Remember that emotions are processed through repetitive play and stories read multiple times. Share COVIBOOK and help ease kiddo's anxiety all over the world. 

​With love,

Manuela Molina - the author

 The PDF in English can be downloaded from her website here.

It is also available in the following langiages: Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, French, Polish, Hebrew, Indonesian, German, Turkish, Russian, Egyptian Arabic, Arabic, Romanian, Hungarian, Greek, Danish, Serbian, Welsh, Croatian and Japansese here

Our thanks go to Di Caesar (Gloucestershire) for drawing this to the attention of the HoSS Forum.
