Corona: Reading & Writing

24 March 2020

Court released a video where Mathilde addresses teenagers who are stuck at home (with their parents) because of the Covid-19 pandemic. She suggests reading the same book, "Jusqu'ici tout va bien" by Marie Colot, which was nominated in 2019 for the Prix Première Victor, a Belgian literary award for youth fiction.

Mathilde reads a snippet from the book.

Another suggestion: why don't you write a diary to channel your emotions, and in a few years it will remind you about how you managed to make it through these hard times.

A day later, a second book suggestion was posted online: "Toen de zee stil was" by Annelies Beck.

The Queen read the entire picture book out loud.
