Free children’s story about the Coronavirus: A villain has us trapped at home

This children’s story is completely free for you!

What it is about

“A Villain Has Us Trapped At Home” is a children’s story in Spanish that emerged from the initiative of a sworn translator “trapped” in quarantine. Aware of the number of children who, like her, cannot leave their homes, María Teresa Toro decided to write a simple story, which, in a few lines could help many parents in the difficult process of guiding and accompanying their children in these moments of disruption.

For children, routine plays an indispensable role in their formation; it gives them structure, it gives them security. At this time the dynamic they have always known has changed dramatically from one day to the next and naturally they may have questions, feel scared and somewhat disoriented. For their part, parents, not having concrete answers to what is coming and with the good intention of protecting their children, may choose not to be clear on the information. Such is the case of the little boy in the story, whose mother has only told him not to worry about the coronavirus, and that he should only wash his hands.

A little confused, he asks himself then, what is a coronavirus? He imagines all kinds of monsters and imagines different ways to fight it with his own super powers because what child hasn’t ever thought that he has magical powers?
