Getting through these days isn’t easy, especially for children living in families with low to no income because of COVID-19.

Looking at what’s really happening in her country, Ha-Giang Trinh wrote a story about sharing, sympathizing, and surviving the pandemic from the perspective of a 9-year-old girl.

Evi Shelvia gave a bright edge to the melancholic story through her touching illustration, even though 98% wore face masks throughout the story. The story is co-published by Room to Read and The Peace Studio.
