This paper addresses the inclusion of boys and girls’ perspectives on the COVID-19 pandemic from a critical position that highlights the importance of considering children’s social agency and avoiding simplistic visions when interpreting their voices. The study is part of a broader interdisciplinary investigation that sought to understand the experience of children and adolescents during the pandemic using different sources. For this study, children of different educational levels were asked to express their thoughts and emotions through drawings, stories, and videos. The artistic productions reflected recurring themes such as the virus, preventive measures and changes in daily life. Although the pandemic presented challenges in interacting with the children, the creations provided insight into their perceptions in an extraordinary context. The conclusions were based on the productions, with recognition of the challenges and obstacles inherent to the pandemic situation, as well as specific to research with children.
