Coping During Covid19

Inspiration

The story was inspired by many of my favorite books growing up, ones that feel bright, positive and colorful! I always enjoyed activity and coloring books and wanted to capture that same feel, as well as have an inspiring story to help them connect to.

What it does

This book helps encourage others to embrace their creativity, and to remember to be kind to others and themselves.

How I built it

I designed and created the artwork for the book using my iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. I storyboarded the ideas on paper and then drew everything into to the iPad.

Challenges I ran into

It was a really fun creative challenge to think of images to accompany the words!

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I'm really proud of how everything flows together, that it's interactive and can give children and their families a story to read and an activity to do together!

What I learned

I learned that it's important to remember the child's perspective and to think about what they must be feeling during this time. It helped me simplify some of my ideas and break them down into ways that they could better understand it.

What's next for Coping During Covid19

I would love for this book to reach many families to help them cope during this time and would be thrilled to see how others enjoyed the book too! In the future, I think it would be fun to extend more of these ideas to help continue helping others!
