My Hero is You 2: How Kids Can Hope with COVID-19
This video is an adaptation of the children’s book, My Hero is You 2, released in 2021 to send a message of hope to children all around the world. As a global community navigating an ongoing pandemic, it can be difficult to stay hopeful at times. Our wish is that this short film warms your heart, makes you smile and reminds you that we are in this together.My Hero is You 2 is the sequel to the original book, My Hero is You (released in 2020). These storybooks were created by mental health and psychosocial support experts from the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC), the highest-level humanitarian coordination forum of the United Nations.
A team, led by Stanford Medicine’s Maya Adam, adapted these stories into short animated films, with input and oversight from the IASC Mental health and Psychosocial Support Reference Group, UNICEF, and the World Health Organization (WHO). The films aim to convey messages of hope, resilience, solidarity, and empowerment to children and their caregivers around the world.
Faculty at Stanford Medicine, the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley School of Medicine served as advisors on this second film. Animations for My hero is You 2 were led by Matt Torode of Tincup TV, with special contributions by Chaz Bottoms and CBA Studios. The original musical score was composed and performed by Misha Seeff.
