I Will Not Let Coronavirus Get Me Down
Nine-year-old George could be considered an example of how every child should feel and act in these uncertain times. Even though George’s world has turned upside down as he’s stuck at home and missing school, he soon adapts to his new life and makes the most of his time at home. He becomes a great listener and understands why it’s crucial that he follow safe hygiene practices. He becomes more creative and intelligent. He learns empathy and compassion, and for the first time in a long time, he observes the yellow tulips bloom in his backyard and notices squirrels nibbling nuts on a tree trunk. Amidst all this, he becomes resilient and strong, remaining hopeful that it’s only a matter a time before he can go out again and beat coronavirus.
