When furloughed during lockdown, Tara Aryan knew one thing was going to be tough – getting her children to understand the pandemic and the importance of washing their hands. There just weren’t any children’s books on the market to relate this powerful message.
So Tara decided to write one herself!
In collaboration with a talented young artist who hand-drew the illustrations, ‘Queenie Corona and the Ten Little Prints’ was born. It’s an unforgettable and fun story that will have all children pridefully washing their hands in an effort to stay fit and healthy.
Synopsis:
Meet ten little comic ‘superhero’ fingerprints, who make it their mission to destroy ‘Queenie Corona', by educating children on how to avoid the spread of germs in a simple and fun way.
“I basically wrote the book I wish I could have given to my children back in March,” explains the author. “I wanted to craft something gentle and dignified that would help give context to the pandemic and instill the vital importance of adopting proper hygiene. Children love a good story, so I was able to wrap up these important messages with a narrative all young readers can relate to.”
Continuing, “I was also so proud to commission my neighbour, Keira Arnold, who drew every illustration in the book by hand. Keira is also putting this book toward her GCSE exams next year, and I’m delighted she is on board. I encourage all parents, schools and community groups to buy copies now – because the message is extremely relevant to the world we live in.”

Since lockdown, Tara has showcased her poetry work for the first time on Instagram and has received a huge response. This has led to her winning competitions within the Instagram community and being published in anthologies.
Tara was inspired to write a rhyming children's book on the Coronavirus to help children understand the pandemic and the importance of washing their hands; Thus 'Queenie Corona and the Ten Little Prints,' was born.
