Abstract
The influence of children's literature on the general development of the child is important. The initiation of the child in the book contributes to the spiritual, cognitive, and linguistic development to the mental and emotional maturation, to the aesthetic cultivation, the wealth of ideas, and offers entertainment, improves expressive ability, and contributes to the formation of the reader's character. “Pandemic” may have been the word of the year 2020, but perhaps, it should have been “coped.” Many families have had to adapt to home education, financial hardship, and losses as well as their daily stressors, and this has had an emotional impact on the children. It turns out that books can be powerful coping tools. Books can help children cope with conversations when difficult things happen. Books can also provide parents, guardians, or teachers around them with the best tools to help children during this pandemic time.
