Photo source: https://www.mindheart.co | Please find below two links for the electronic version of a book regarding COVID-19 addressed to young children. The author of the book, Manuela Molina, describes her book as an invitation to families and educators to discuss the full range of emotions arising from the recent circumstances after the outbreak of the COVID-19. It is pointed out that the resource does not seek to be a source of scientific information, but rather a tool based on fantasy. The recommendation is to print the material, so that young children can draw on it. You can access the Greek version of the book here.
