Mum is Hiding

This series first arose in China as a response to the lockdown from the Covid-19 pandemic. It stands as a reminder that all of humanity has similar problems and can come up with solutions based on common values and goals – how to survive in times of great suffering and how to protect and look after one another. A pandemic affects us all. Children can find “fight the virus” stories all around them. When they learn to identify danger and face challenges with courage, they grow. Our children will come through this storm, they will feel our love, and will look forward to the future. Life suddenly changes for Nina, when her mum makes the difficult decision to “hide” in her room. While Mum self-isolates, six year old Nina has to tackle new things for herself. It’s hard, but distance cannot separate love, and the challenges help Nina to grow up. – Qian Mo
