  Lucy - The Covid-19 Fighter

Inspiration

The lockdown affects our life a lot but we try our best to have fun, and making a book about what is happening will be one of our best memories. Also, because the book is for kids, so my kids can work on this and learning about Covid-19 at the same time.

What it does

My kids (Y and Bao) and I are telling a story about how an 8-year-old girl first learns about the Covid-19 pandemic.

How I built it

We started from our own fact that our cruise was cancelled and we were so disappointed. My girl (Y) designed how the characters look, she also had her current favorite pet (turtle) in the book. My son (Bao) worked on the story frame, I put everything together.

Challenges I ran into

Drawing by hands is hard, coloring with pencils is very time consuming. But this way my kids can join, they don't know how to use photoshop or Illustrator. It is also hard to make the story educational and kid-friendly enough to explain this huge unprecedented tragic to them so the book is not too heavy while still manages to give them all basic information about the covid-19 pandemic.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We all worked hard together and all felt happy with the outcome. We had good bonding time.

What I learned

You have to think like a kid to make a book for kids.

What's next

I hope the book will be loved by kids and help them to understand more about the pandemic.
