Inspiration: Young children are both curious and anxious during these difficult days of COVID-19. Since Coronavirus is the language children and most adults are using, this is what I call it in the book.

What it does: Educate and reassure young children, as well as give parents a way to explain a difficult topic with easy language and engaging visuals.

How I built it: Wrote the text in rhyme, hand drew the illustrations and transferred it to Illustrator.

Challenges I ran into: Doing this in lockdown with limited tools (e.g. scanner etc).

Accomplishments that I'm proud of: Breaking down complex ideas to the simplest form (and rhyme) without losing meaning. Also, the illustrations being simple yet informative.

What I learned: Adults and children are all feeling similar emotions!

What's next for Go Away, Coronavirus! : Amplify reach and help children the world over.
