Here I am sitting in my apartment. Grandpa and I must not go out because there’s a virus on the loose out there. The doctor told me I can’t come to see you. I have to listen to him. That’s why I’m writing you this letter. I want to tell you some important things…”
‘Grandma’s Letter’ has reached children across Bosnia and Herzegovina ever since the COVID-19 pandemic prevented them from meeting their grandparents in person. Offering both vital information and words of comfort, the easy-to-read letter from a fictional grandmother, with its colourful illustrations, was developed by UNICEF in partnership with the country’s Associations of Parents of Children with Autism and Downs Syndrome.
In her letter, ‘Grandma’ explains why she can’t spend time with her grandchildren, using language that is easy for any youngster to follow, including those with disabilities.
“And why can’t we hang out with others anymore? If someone around you is coughing or sneezing, you can catch the virus, too. So, it’s better not to hang out with others until the doctors says it’s safe. I have one thing to ask of you! I need you to wash your hands every time you go to eat or touch something. While washing your hands, count to 20.”
This initiative builds on foundations that were in place long before the current crisis, like the partnerships with the Associations of Parents of Children with Autism and Downs Syndrome. As COVID-19 has made it impossible for their children to use the services they used regularly, from speech therapy to day-care, parents have mobilized their expert knowledge to help UNICEF produce information their children can use and enjoy.
It was the parents, for example, who suggested adapting existing guidance from the Down’s Syndrome Association on easy-to-read language. UNICEF took this guidance to Ferida Durakovic, a local writer and poet, asking her to craft a story to give children all the basic information they need about COVID-19. She created ‘Grandma’ and her draft was then checked and amended by parents to make sure that it would really work for their children.
