WHAT YOU

SAID ABOUT ...

Finding Hope Readers like Kathleen

Cremeans of Oceanside, Calif., were

“impressed” by the lineup of “powerful”

contributors to the April 27–May 4 special

issue, “Finding

Hope,” which brought

together members

of the TIME 100

community to

share their views

on navigating the

pandemic. “It was

so inspiring to reach

inside the minds

of so many much

admired people across

the globe,” wrote

Johannes Van Kampen of Ontario.

Beatrice Allen of Sun Valley, Ariz., was

particularly happy that the piece by Repre-

sentative Lauren Underwood (D., Ill.) rec-

ognized everyday heroes like letter carriers.

And Jodi L. Niver, a history teacher in Wells-

boro, Pa., said she would ask her students

to read Mikhail Gorbachev’s essay about

the world coming together in the wake of

COVID-19, because it “serves as a great

reminder of our responsibility to one an-

other.” Michael M. Shapiro of Parkland, Fla.,

however, felt the issue overlooked an impor-

tant aspect of the pandemic: the struggles

of local news outlets, which are “vital,

particularly in times of national

emergencies.”

Readers like Paul Feiner of Greenburgh,

N.Y., agreed that the time is now to “make the

world a better place”

than it was before the

pandemic. As for how

to get there, James

Roberts of Fort Myers,

Fla., suggested one

key element: a “united

world response to the

current and future

world crises [like]

climate change.”

‘The most

informative

source of

alternative

perspec tives

on the virus.’

Blacksburg, Va.

‘Govern-

ments have

ignored

their duty

to protect

their

people.’

Lund, Sweden

Covering TIME

When art teacher Joanne

Riina asked 10th-graders

at the NYC Lab School

for Collaborative Studies

to design their own TIME

covers—using the U.S. flag

to “make a statement”

about COVID-19—the

results offered “a glimpse

into how some young

New Yorkers are processing

their ‘new normal,’” as she

puts it. Highlights from their

work can be seen here.

For younger students, TIME

for Kids is offering another

way to process the “new

normal” with art: drawing

lessons with creative

director Drew Willis and kid

sidekick Rosie. Find Draw
