Children's book about Doctor Li, the first hero of this pandemic, set for October release


When Francesca Cavallo released her short story Doctor Li And The Crown-Wearing Virus as a free digital download during the coronavirus outbreak, the response was overwhelming. In just a short time, it was downloaded by 40,000 people and translated into 32 languages by volunteers from all over the world.

It was this overwhelming response that spurred her to develop this story into a hardcover, 44-page picture book, with colourful drawings by illustrator Claudia Flandoli.
