GERMS OH NO!

Covid-19 children's book

Comment 5

Inspiration: To be a part of the Coronavirus recovery team for the family

What it does: Helps children with understanding of the virus and calming fears associated with it.

How I built it: Used Word and then changed to pdf form after writing...then did all my own illustrations and photographed them to add to GERMS OH NO! e-book.

Challenges I ran into: No problems with the writing as I have authored a number of books and for ten years has been a blogger. You may want to see a sample of my blogging that has to do with a history of searching for cures as we are doing with this pandemic. (Go to TRY IT at the bottom of this page.) As an artist, I found drawing and painting to fit the subject matter a little more challenging. Finding this link to actually submit was my biggest challenge.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of: The ability to think through all the parts of the Coronavirus that adults are concerned with and rephrase them into language a child will understand. Hopefully, it will be helpful to children and their parents to work through these difficult times. The fact that I was able to do my own illustrations was an accomplishment since I am more of a photographer than an artist.

What I learned: I have broadened my thinking on the real-life problems of children/ parents during this Pandemic, even though my other children's books were about teaching values that are also important. This book dealt more with the fears encountered or misunderstanding that children may have about the concerns of their parents and the community.

What's next for GERMS OH NO! Hopefully, it will be read world-wide.
