Edited by Katherine Rundell, with contributions from more than 100 children's writers and illustrators

This 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 working in hospitals.

Read the book

When schools were closed during the COVID-19 pandemic in both 2020 and 2021 Bloomsbury generously permitted us to share The Book of Hopes as an ebook freely accessible to schools and families.

As part of our Education Recovery support for schools and children we worked with partners to develop a range of supporting resources, that you can find linked below.

The Book of Hopes is now available as a beautiful hardback gift edition, with 23 never-seen-before stories, poems and illustrations, providing an ongoing wealth of discovery, comfort and inspiration for children.

The Book of Hopes is available to buy from all good book retailers. A donation from the sale of each book will go to NHS Charities Together, in gratitude for the incredible efforts of all those who worked in hospitals over the quarantine period. Learn more and purchase your own copy.

The Easter holidays have come early for many families. In the wake of coronavirus, so many of us are self isolating at home, going a little crazy behind closed doors, wondering how to fill the hours and weeks until children go back to school. Here are a few fun and cheap ideas for some TastEd games you could play together as a family (which have the added bonus of encouraging your children to experience and enjoy some new foods).

Before you start any TastEd game, everyone washes their hands. The second thing which is really important is to tell the children that TastEd has two golden rules. 'No one has to try' and 'No one has to like'. These rules may not be the same ones that your family uses at dinnertime. That's fine. But when doing TastEd, these rules are crucial for allowing the children to know that all of the pressure is off and they won't have 'failed' at the game for not liking something or for feeling that they just can't put something in their mouth.
Looking at Vegetables
This is a fantastic game for encouraging reluctant vegetable eaters to engage with new foods in a positive way.

Choose a vegetable that you have in your kitchen. Tomatoes or peppers or broccoli or carrots are all good ones to try. Explain that the game is nothing to do with tasting. It is just about looking at the vegetable and saying what you see.

For example, you might look at a Romano pepper together and the child might say 'it's like a tongue' and you might say 'it's like a wizard hat' or 'it's red like Spiderman' and so on. When you have finished looking at the outside, cut the vegetable open and have a really good look inside. What patterns can you see? Now you can wash the veg and offer some to try reminding them that it's OK to lick or smell the veg if they prefer. Model eating the veg yourself and describe how delicious/crunchy/sweet it is. If you have more than one colour of the same vegetable it can be fun to see whether it tastes the same: e.g. orange and red pepper or yellow and red tomato.

Finally, you could get out paints and paper and do a painting of the veg together.

The point of this game is to give children the chance to get up very close with vegetables without any pressure to eat. It seems to work as reverse psychology and in the total absence of pressure, trying the food actually becomes easier.
Mystery Spices
Before the children come in the room, take an assortment of spices from your cupboard. Some good ones to use are: cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, nutmeg, cloves. But really, use any spices you can find. You could also use: orange or lemon zest, fresh ginger, fresh mint leaves, vanilla essence.

Find some empty jam jars. Put a little of each spice in each jar and cover it with foil so that the spice is hidden from view. Make a couple of small holes in the top using a fork.

Now ask the children in the room. Pass round the jars and describe what you smell and what it reminds you of. It doesn't matter if the children can't name the spice. In a way, the game is more fun if they can't. You want to be asking them to say things like 'it reminds me of Christmas' or 'it reminds me of cooking rice' or 'it reminds me of when I eat porridge'. See if they can use some adjectives. Is it sweet? Is it spicy? Is it peppery?

Now open up the jars and see what's inside! Maybe you could plan a cooking project together using one of the spices.
The Nose Game
What You Need: Carrots and/or apples. Peel the carrots, wash the apples and cut into pieces. Ground cinnamon or ground ginger.

The point of this game is to learn the connection between smell and flavour. Most of what we call flavour is really smell. Ask the child/children: do you know where flavour happens? They will probably say 'mouth'. Say you are going to do an experiment to test if they are right. Take a piece of apple or carrot and dip it in the spice. Try it with your nose pinched. What can you taste? Now try it again with your nose unpinched. There should be a huge difference! This sometimes comes as a surprise to adults as well as children.

There are all kinds of variations of this game. You could try blind tasting - could you tell apple from pear with your eyes closed?

We're all trying to keep the kids entertained and active whilst at home during these strange times and National Museums Liverpool have offered up an idea that might help.
While their venues are closed and children are learning at home, National Museums Liverpool is launching an exciting new project where children get to imagine they are the curators of their very own collection of special objects and artworks.
My Home is My Museum is a project for four to 11 year-olds that will encourage children to learn about what museums and galleries do on a day-to-day basis. They will be inspired to think about how to bring an exhibition together by curating a display featuring their own treasured 'objects' or incredible works of art.

Children will be asked to put together a list of up to 10 items or artistic creations that represent their life and the important people in it.

They will need to write a short description about the objects or artworks, why they were chosen and the exhibition as a whole, before designing an eye-catching poster and uploading a 'promotional' video to social media saying why it would be a must-see exhibition!

A well-loved teddy bear, holiday souvenirs, pictures of family, toy car collections or special outfits are just a few of the things children might want to include in their collection of objects. Or, instead of objects, the exhibition could be a gallery of their own artworks showing off their creative flair. Children will not have to 'stage' their 'exhibition' in their promotional video, but may want to show a couple of items or artworks to help them talk about it and promote it to the world! They can create a solo project or get the whole family involved.
When National Museums Liverpool's venues reopen, the best videos will be shortlisted and a few lucky children will get to have their exhibitions featured in a special digital exhibition online. They will also get to spend an afternoon with a top curator who will share all their tips about putting together a blockbuster exhibition, along with a behind the scenes tour of World Museum or the Walker Art Gallery. Director of National Museums Liverpool, Laura Pye said"This project is a fun and wonderfully personal way for children to understand what museums are for. They're not just for preserving rare objects and fine paintings; they're also there to tell stories about who we are and where we've come from and to inspire conversations about where we're going. And if we can help parents keep children occupied during the current time, we're very happy to help!" : "While we're sad that our museums and galleries aren't open to the public at the moment, we want to make sure that we're still connected with our younger visitors and inspire them as they learn from home. "We love inspiring the kids to make their own films. I think the filming part of the project is a great way to boost their confidence when speaking in front of others. We look forward to seeing some of the other exhibitions and videos."
Amalie Hughes from Toddler Fun Learning is mum to Josh, Poppy and Molly who have helped kick the project off with the first video submission. Amalie said: "This was a really fun and thought provoking project to do with the kids. It sparked lots of great memories and lead to thoughtful conversations (some quite emotional) whilst we were discussing the importance of their objects and why they chose them.

The Teaching Team at CLPE have been working hard to meet schools' changing needs in these unprecedented times as pupils transition to home learning.

Following careful consultation with our Power of Reading Associate schools, we are pleased to launch Take 5: our brand new home learning resources for Power of Reading member schools to send home to parents. They are designed to allow children to develop their own responses to Power of Reading texts they may have studied or will be studying in school.

Each set of home learning notes contains five simple activities which will develop children's comprehension skills and strategies and develop their imagination and creativity for writing, linked to the National Curriculum.

The five key areas covered in the activities are:

Explore it: Reading of text and/or illustrations and questions to develop children's awareness of language and vocabulary, including how this can be used for effect.

Illustrate it: Drawing tasks to develop children's visualisation skills - a key aspect of comprehension.

Talk about it: Questions or talking points to support children's understanding of key parts of the text, encouraging them to refer back to the text to support their ideas.

Imagine it: Talking points and questions that encourage deeper responses to texts, thinking beyond the text and linking to real life knowledge and understanding.

Create it: A range of different ideas for writing in response to a text, developing children's imagination and creative ideas.

These practical home learning ideas make it easy for parents to engage children in reading through play and talk-based activities. Copies of the books are not needed to carry out these tasks as extracts are provided, but should parents wish to inspire further learning opportunities they can purchase the titles from our list of Independent Booksellers or through Hive.
