黄鹤楼、“大白”、新冠病毒、上海世博展览馆……简单的元素、童真的笔迹生动地描绘了余跃天这三年来的抗疫足迹。作为一名具有重症感染专业背景的医生，余跃天一直奔赴在救治新冠肺炎患者的临床一线。2020年1月28日，余跃天随上海市第三批援鄂医疗队到达武汉，对口支援武汉第三医院光谷院区55天。2021年，他入驻上海公卫中心A3大楼重症病区，承担起境外输入病例的救治工作。今年，他又随仁济医疗队连续辗转上海世博方舱医院、公惠医院和嘉定F1方舱医院，在抗疫工作中全力以赴。

　　“今年六一儿童节的时候，两兄弟一起完成了这组漫画。5岁的小儿子余佑恩负责画画，大儿子余泽皓负责描写封面故事，碰到不会的英文单词他们还请教了妈妈。”余跃天表示，“后来正好了解到Translational Pediatrics杂志在向全球征集2022年全年12期的封面及封面故事，我们就试着把他们的画投给了杂志，没想到就被录用了。”

　　据余跃天介绍，两个儿子爱好广泛，很喜欢画画、看书、打篮球，也喜欢动手进行些小设计，他们上过绘画兴趣班还通过了考级。“他们对医学插图很感兴趣，有时候还会旁听我课题组关于论文插图修改的线上会议，然后照着模仿。我也很鼓励他们把平日里的所见所闻用画笔表达出来。”

　　他坦言，疫情发生以来自己一直忙于支援新冠疫情工作，但几乎每天都会通过视频电话和儿子们“见面”，分享日常生活。“每次打电话他们都会问，爸爸你什么时候回来呀？”“每次想我了，他们便会拿起画笔，或者看书，他们觉得等看完100本书的时候，我就回家了。”

　　“我每次回来都能收到他们的手制贺卡，上面写着‘爸爸辛苦了’，还配着一些小漫画。很暖心。”余跃天打趣说，“两个男孩平日里虽然粗线条，但其实也是‘贴心棉袄’。”看到儿子们的这一组漫画，余跃天既感慨又欣慰：“平时比较忙，对他们的陪伴不够，感觉他们长大了不少，这些漫画更多的是对彼此的记录，既记录了他们这三年的成长，也记录了我作为一名医务工作者三年来肩上的责任担当。虽然笔触看起来些许稚嫩，但对我来说是非常有意义的。”

　　封面故事如下：
