Picture Books

• COVID picture book – ages 2-7. From the author, Manuela Molina: “This book is an invitation for families to discuss the full range of emotions arising from the current situation. It is important to point out that this resource does not seek to be a source of scientific information, but rather a tool based on fantasy. My recommendation is to print this material so children can draw on it. Remember that emotions are processed through repetitive play and stories read multiple times.” Languages: Spanish, English, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), French, Egyptian Arabic, Arabic, and others. Here’s the English one.
