Axel Scheffler has illustrated a digital book for primary school age children, free for anyone to read on screen or print out, about the coronavirus and the measures taken to control it. Published by Nosy Crow, and written by staff within the company, the book has had expert input: Professor Graham Medley of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine acted as a consultant, and the company also had advice from two head teachers and a child psychologist.
The book answers key questions in simple language appropriate for children:
• 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?
Please find a copy of the book here to read with your child.

Good morning. I read this book with my siblings. It was very interesting and taught me lots off this about this COV-19.
I am pleased you shared it as a family. What did you learn from the book?
Great insight at these times!! Thank you
I am glad you found it useful.
I read the story it has taught me new things about the corona virus and I know another fact it is to stay away from old people and people who are coughing and sneezing near you.
You shouldn’t be going out at the minute unless it is for your one form of exercise a day. If you should go out, make sure you stay at least two metres away from people. Those with coughs and sneezes shouldn’t really be out anyway.
I definitely echo these words by Mrs Morris.
Thank you Mr Patel for sharing, we went through this book today ,it was helpful.
Thank you for sharing this, Mr Patel. I had just come on to post it.
I will be looking at this with my son and daughter tonight – it looks like it will help them to understand more about coronavirus.
