In pictures: children around the world display their lockdown art

Jemima Christa-Faelist Tanamal, 6, poses for a photograph while holding a picture that she drew during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, while standing by her grandparents house in Bekasi, Indonesia, April 21, 2020. Jemima drew herself and her little brother going for a picnic with their grandparents. "I don't like to stay at home, boring," said Jemima. "Once I can go outside, I will go to the mini-market for bubble gum first. I like to go to school, because I can play together with my friends. I will hug my friends and teachers when I go back to school later and say 'I miss you teacher, I miss you friend' to them." REUTERS/Willy Kurniawan SEARCH "CORONAVIRUS DRAWING" FOR THIS STORY.
