Corona Superhero Kids - Paperback

Purpose: This book was specifically designed due to the highly noted need to discuss the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in a child friendly language with our children, students and young clients.As occupational therapy practitioners, we strive to bring awareness and solutions to everyday issues. COVID-19 has impacted every human being world-wide and has altered their life and daily functions in one way or another. Through this book, we aspire to enhance the children's overall quality of life by discussing various possibilities of play, family time and academics following new safety guidelines through a memorable book experience.We aim to diminish the fear of COVID-19 as it can have a negative impact on a child's overall mental and physical well-being. Instead, we hope to educate and transform the young readers into their own superheroes by using creativity and exploration. Additionally, we hope to ensure that children never feel alone or isolated during this vital time in our lives, and that they can freely look up to their own everyday superheroes such as their parents, caregivers, teachers and more. By instilling these "superhero support systems" in all children, our motive is to build up the confidence needed for them to take on the world through the education of proper hygiene to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in a positive and playful way.
