This qualitative study analyzed the drawings produced by 29 Brazilian children aged 4 to 11 about life before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The data was collected through video calls and subjected to Thematic Analysis using webQDA software, giving rise to six categories. The main results indicate the children's perspectives on the changes, thoughts and feelings resulting from the new coronavirus and the pandemic. It corroborates the idea that children are competent to describe and interpret what they have experienced and these results could support interventions in other crisis situations.
