This month I am rec­om­mend­ing a book for the times, My Hero is You! It is free for all.

Dur­ing the ear­ly stages of this book project, more than 1700 chil­dren, par­ents, care­givers and teach­ers from around the world shared how they were cop­ing with the COVID-19 pan­dem­ic. The input was invalu­able to script writer and illus­tra­tor Helen Patuck and the project team in mak­ing sure that the sto­ry and its mes­sages res­onat­ed with chil­dren from dif­fer­ent back­grounds and continents.

The book is intend­ed pri­mar­i­ly for chil­dren aged 6–11 years old. It is a col­lab­o­ra­tion of Unit­ed Nations agen­cies and inter­na­tion­al agen­cies pro­vid­ing men­tal health sup­port in emer­gency settings.

In order to reach as many chil­dren as pos­si­ble, the book is wide­ly trans­lat­ed. It is released as an online prod­uct and I have your links below. Many oth­er lan­guages are also avail­able to be downloaded.

Here is your free down­load in Eng­lish.
