Amidst the chaos and frustration of being locked indoors and the endless uncertainty about when it will be safe for children to step outdoors, the UN has curated a wonderful book called MY HERO IS YOU (How Kids Can Fight Covid-19!).
The UNICEF collaborated with more than 50 organizations working in the humanitarian sector; the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children’s Fund, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and Save the Children- are some of these organizations involved in providing mental health and psychosocial support in emergency settings which have contributed.
The Book is for children between the ages of 6-11, and explains how children can protect themselves from the Virus as well as manage their emotions during this time of uncertainty.
Sara’s mother is a scientist who explains to her what the Corona Virus is; the little girl wants to become a hero to save the World from the Pandemic and that night she is paid a visit by Ario- fantasy creature who takes her on a journey.
The Book is to be read out loud by parents or teachers, so that they can explain what its about to the kids.
