Isabelle Daza made an animated children’s story to help explain the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic to her son Balthazar.
The video, which was about three minutes long, was posted by the actress on her Facebook page earlier today, April 20.
“This is what I call an animated book,” she added.
So I created a story to help explain to my son what is going on with the current covid-19 pandemic. This is what I call an animated book. Lol 🤷🏻♀️

The story focuses on a tiger named Tralala and his fellow animal friends who cannot play together anymore due to the spread of the coronavirus. As the young animals stay in their homes, their parents teach them about the importance of the quarantine, “physical distancing” and washing one’s hands.
Daza narrated the story in both English and Filipino. She also put out the Filipino version on her account.
Gumawa ako ng kwento para maintindihan ng aking anak kung ano ang nangyayari sa sitwasyon ngayon dulot ng covid-19.
