Listen, Lisa is a book written and illustrated by Carina Santillan. The story is inspired by the 2020 global pandemic, COVID-19 and the many stories shared by Ms. Santillan's coworkers about their children's reactions throughout it. The story serves as a form of encyclopedia about the disease that not only focuses on informing its readers but entertaining them as well. The book deals with four major issues: 1) Explaining the pandemic in a concise, informative, but friendly way so that young readers can better understand what is going on around them 2) Methods and regulations to prevent the spread of the disease 3) Dealing with sick relatives and/or friends. 4) Virtual school, mental health, and coping mechanism to help the child feel at ease with all the ongoing changes in their lives.
