The schools are closed and Alessandro from Europe has been learning from home. He doesn't feel like himself as his grandma is sick. Follow along as I read aloud this story titled 'Hope, Where Are You For Alessandro?', written by Armand Doucet and Elisa Guerra, and illustrated by Ana RoGu. This is part of a free children’s book from The LEGO Foundation, featuring the stories of six children around the world who are experiencing school closures due to the coronavirus. The book aims to change the narrative from one of anxiety to one of hope by letting each of the six stories follow a similar pattern of frustration/challenge, finding their hope and importantly spreading their hope to others. The book provides a simple resource to support children and their families impacted by school closure by providing a meaningful context for children to talk about the current situation while nurturing their social-emotional development.
