Molly Watts, an intensive care nurse at Southampton Children's Hospital, wrote the online picture book Dave the Dog Is Worried About Coronavirus after a nightshift last week.
The book tells the story of an owl called Nurse Dotty who explains coronavirus to Dave the Dog, which includes giving young readers tips on how to avoid the virus and prevent its spread.
In an interview with the BBC, Ms Watts explains: "Big changes to children's routines and lots of stories on the news can make it a really scary time."
"I've had lots of people tell me that their children were really anxious and didn't understand what exactly was going on but that reading the story had helped them feel better."
