The scale and impact of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic are difficult for adults to wrap their minds around, with much fewer children. But young people still have questions, and they are looking to adults to help them understand what is happening.

“My Hero is You”, a story developed for and by children around the world, offers a way for children and parents to together think about the questions the pandemic raises. Designed to be read by a parent, caregiver, or teacher alongside a child or a small group of children, the story was shaped by more than 1,700 children, parents, caregivers, and teachers from around the world who took the time to share how they are coping with the impact of COVID-19.

The project was developed by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee Reference Group on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergency Settings and supported by global, regional, and country-based experts, in addition to parents, caregivers, teachers, and children in 104 countries.

With the support of a fantasy creature named Ario, My Hero is You, How kids can fight COVID-19! explains children ways for protecting themselves, family, and friends from the coronavirus.

The comics also guide children to control their emotions when facing fast-changing real life.
