If a you have a child, 6-12 years of age...a nice book

Post by jdrobbo » Tue Apr 28, 2020 5:52 pm

Hi all,

Please find linked below, a lovely looking book, ‘The book of HOPES’ that I’ve just shared with the Y5 and Y6 children at my school. It’s a read online text but still looks fab.

Some info...

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 and Jacqueline Wilson.

The collection, published by Bloomsbury, is dedicated to the doctors, nurses, carers, porters, cleaners and everyone currently working in hospitals.

The Book of Hopes is currently available to read online only. Bloomsbury intends to publish a gift book based on the project in the autumn in support of NHS Charities Together. Please visit @KidsBloomsbury for further updates on this.



Hope some of your children manage to grab a read and more importantly, that they’re all keeping safe, are smiling and engaging with their homeschooling.

Best wishes to you all.
