The Philippine Embassy, Bangkok is pleased to share with the Filipino Community the attached list of e-books and videos for children on Covid-19 written by Filipino authors and published by Philippine and international agencies.
More than just good children’s literature, these resources are very much relevant to what the world is presently facing, making the children more aware and socially conscious of the effects of the corona virus to themselves, to you as parents and/or teachers, and to their surroundings. There are great illustrations to stir the imagination of children for a better understanding of concepts related to Covid-19 such as “physical distancing”, “hand washing”, “transmission” and many more. The books also show the children how to take care of themselves and the people around them during these difficult times.
Filipino parents and teachers are encouraged to use these e-books and videos, not forgetting to give proper credit to their publishers.
Maraming salamat po.
