Award-winning children’s author, Katherine
Rundell, has launched The Book of Hopes: Words and Pictures to
Comfort, Inspire and Entertain Children in Lockdown.
You can find the book on the link below.
Completely free for all children and
families, the extraordinary collection of short stories, poems, essays and
pictures has contributions from more than 110 children’s writers and
illustrators, including Lauren Child, Anthony Horowitz, Greg James and 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; there are doodles and flowers;
revolting poems and beautiful poems; and there are stories of space travel and
new shoes and dragons.
The collection is dedicated to the
doctors, nurses, carers, porters, cleaners and everyone currently working in
hospitals.
