Inspiration

The changing times calls for rather huge adjustments in everyone's lifestyles, including children. Studies show that a drastic change in lifestyle can have a severe impact on children, especially their mental health. However, most of the content available to cope with the situation is directed towards adults. This motivated us to create a fun narrative that can help children quickly navigate the precautions they can take during this crisis, while handling the myths and finding new hobbies.

What it does

Our story assumes children as change makers with a good bandwidth to understand and participate by taking responsibility for themselves and their loved ones. So we are not using metaphors, instead we focused on making the narrative fun and simple.

How we built it

We constructed the narrative around how children might perceive this situation and also by relying on several authentic sources for factual data.

Challenges we ran into

Simplifying the information and breaking it down without giving misinformation to kids.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• More emphasis on the conceptualisation than the form itself.
• Quick production - the storybook was written and illustrated in a very short time. ## What we learned The process has been self educating for us as we explored through several resources to gather information. We also got a chance to explore the world of children's books illustrations. ## What's next for Ajji's Simple Guide to Coronavirus We would love to disseminate the book amongst wider audience in multiple languages in multiple forms. We would also love to make small activity booklets for children to productively spend time and cope with the situation.
