"I want to console the heart of the children," she says, adding that her initiative was supported by her teammates Wen Xin and Tan Xian who have been working with her on the text of the book.
The book starts with a conversation between a girl and her mother. Girl: "Mommy, are you leaving home again?"
Mother: "Yes honey, mommy is going to fight a monster－a horrible virus has invaded a city that many people love dearly, and countless grandparents, aunts, uncles and children have become sick."
In plain language, the questions and answers go on, explaining the symptoms of the illness, and telling the stories of the people, doctors and nurses, couriers and cleaners, workers and scientists, fighting the virus on all fronts.
"They are all ordinary people, but now they are the bravest fighters!" it reads.
