COMMUNITY PROTECTORS: Children Help Communities Stay Safe from COVID-19
A story and coloring book about staying safe from COVID-19
CDC, CDC Foundation, and Oklahoma Tribal Engagement Partners created Community Protectors to educate children on ways they can stay safe and help protect their communities from the spread of COVID-19.
Community Protectors follows the same characters of the Eagle Books in a 20-page hybrid story and coloring book. Popular for over 15 years with American Indian and Alaska Native children and educators, the Eagle Books help promote healthy eating, physical activity, and awareness of type 2 diabetes. Culturally relevant stories and activities with relatable characters engage children in considering healthy choices, often passing on messages to their family and friends in the storytelling tradition.
Community Protectors is written by James Wallace (Choctaw Nation). Patrick Rolo (Bad River Band of Ojibwe), artist for the original Eagle Books, provides illustrations to color.
The 20-page coloring book, created for children age 5-10, uses stunning illustrations, ready for crayon and colored pencil, and a lively story that conveys culturally relevant and science-based messages for Native children about preventing the spread of COVID-19.
