Gill Books have published the Irish edition of ‘Coronavirus: A book for children’, illustrated by ‘The Gruffalo’s’ Axel Scheffler.
The book answers key questions in simple language appropriate for 5 to 9 year olds:
• What is the coronavirus?
• How do you catch the coronavirus?
• What happens if you catch the coronavirus?
• Why are people worried about catching the coronavirus?
• Is there a cure for the coronavirus?
• Why are some places we normally go to closed?
• What can I do to help?
• What’s going to happen next?
At the back of the book, there is a list of trusted resources for children, along with further reading for parents, guardians and carers.
Professor Luke O’Neill called it, ‘a fantastic resource for children’.
