The Book of Hopes


A book of words and pictures to Comfort, Inspire and 
Entertain Children in Lockdown

Award winning children’s author Katherine Rundell has launched The book of Hopes: Words and Pictures to Comfort, Inspire and Entertain Children in Lockdown. This beautiful interactive book has been specially written for children to give hope during the Lockdown period. The free book is an extraordinary collection of short stories, poems, essays and pictures. It has contributions from more than 10 children’s writers and illustrators including Lauren Child, Anthony Horowitz, Greg James, Chris Smith, Michael Morpurgo, Liz Pichon, Axel Scheffler, Francesca Simon, Jacqueline Wilson and Katherine herself.

The Book of Hopes aims to comfort, inspire and encourage children during lockdown through delight, new ideas, ridiculous jokes and heroic tales. There are true accounts of cats and hares and plastic-devouring caterpillars; reciting poems and beautiful poems; and there are stories of space travel and dragons.

The collection is dedicated to doctors, nurses, caters, porters, cleaners and everyone currently working in hospitals.
