A short picturebook for children living with HIV. Across cultures storytelling is a vehicle used to both educate and entertain. To educate children living with HIV we often employ storytelling. Over time we have found that explaining HIV through a friendly narrative is best for getting the child to understand their condition and partake in our prescribed treatment. Little Soldiers familiarizes children with the key facts about HIV and the treatment of HIV.
