Inspiration - I was inspired by this contest to create a book that will help children feel less stressed about the pandemic because, our healthcare workers are doing their best to care for those in need and that the best thing we can do to help them at this time is to stay at home.

What it does - This book seeks to ease children's fears and anxiety.

How I built it - I first created a story using rhyming text to engage children. Followed, by illustrations that help to elevate the story and form an exciting and hopeful book.

Challenges - The challenge I faced was the time constraints on this project. Writing and illustrating a children's book in two weeks is a challenge and everyone should feel extremely proud, as I am, of what they've produced.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of - Completing this is an accomplishment itself. I'm proud that my first completed book has the possibility to help kids like my son.

What I learned - From this project, I learned that actually talking about the topic and reading this story to my own son helped him feel at ease and that the ending gives him hope that things will work out and that he'll soon be back at school with his friends.

What's next for The invisible fiend- My hope is that this book will be used as a tool to not only start a conversation about this pandemic but also ease any fears a child might have and give them hope that someday soon this time will be a memory. A time we overcame.
