WE DID IT TOGETHER
Written and Illustrated: Kamala M Nair

We did it together is a picture book which talks about the current global pandemic and how to teach them about the situation without panicking them. There are two main inspirations for this project. Firstly, a huge amount of respect to frontline health workers who risks their life saving people and all the others who are working outside the comfort of their home for functioning of our society. The story revolves around a kid whose both parents are Doctors and how she deals with the lockdown and encourage all other kids to do the same. Secondly, global solidarity. I could not quote anyone better than Yuvan Noah Harari when he said “ if we react to the pandemic with global solidarity and generosity, we can not only defeat it more easily, but come out of this crisis more strongly than ever before.” This teaches kids how they can deal with the situation together and an assurance that this will be okay in near future.
