C'RONA Pandemic Comics is a collection of short comics and essays developed to help youth understand the complexities of living through a viral pandemic.

Created by a group of artists, educators, tribe members, and scientists, this comic book provides an engaging way to learn about the COVID-19 pandemic from a cast of fictional charactersβ€”a parrot, a fox, a goat, a bat, a mouse, a coyote, and a ghost.
