Hi everyone -
We are compiling a list of books (for all ages! babies through adulthood) about topics related to resilience building to create a virtual library for our upcoming Resilience Week VA 2020 (May 3-9). Please send any recommendations my way as soon as you are able. We will share the list once completed. Thanks a bunch! Take good care everyone.

Our team just developed a new free COVID-19 resource along with colleagues from the NCTSN. It is a children's story book: Fighting the Big Virus: Trinka, Sam, and Littletown Work Together. The description is below. Downloadable from: http://piploproductions.com/trinka-and-sam-virus/
Fighting the Big Virus: Trinka, Sam, and Littletown Work Together
This story was developed in collaboration with the National Child Traumatic Stress Network to help young children and families talk about their experiences and feelings related to COVID-19 and the need to stay inside. In the story, the virus has spread to Littletown causing changes in everyone's lives. The story opens doors to conversations about family and community strengths, challenges and feelings related to COVID-19, ways grown-ups help children keep safe, and our gratitude for frontline workers.
In addition to the story, which also serves as a coloring book, there is a booklet of common questions children may ask, a parent guide, and a feeling poster. The book and booklet can either be read to children, or, parents may select specific pages for their children to color and talk about. These all can all be freely downloaded from http://piploproductions.com/trinka-and-sam-virus/. They will also soon be available at https://nctsn.org
