Flu
It is an educational fairy tale about Flu, the disease which affects children every year. How to protect yourself from it?
The action takes place in a junk yard where Misfortune and Danger live cosily knitting a scarf of bad deeds and fostering dark ideas. They invite their friend Flu to visit them so that they could find out all his tricks. Flu is eager to tell how his helpers little viruses and little flu get through to children. And then they join forces with their friends Cough, Angina, Miss Snuffles, Fever, who put children to bed and torture them. Surely Flu is not so powerful: he is afraid of vitamins, medications, clean hands, physically fit children, and, of course, vaccines.
Creation of the fairy tale was ordered by Vilnius Territorial Health Insurance Fund. The readers of magazine “Tipu Tapu” are welcome to make their own fairy tale – mini book by taking out the middle page of the magazine, bending and cutting the page and putting the small pages to a mini book.
The fairy tale was illustrated by painter Eglė Šablevičiūtė.
