In difficult times, what children really need is hope. And in that spirit, bestselling author Katherine Rundell emailed some of the children's writers and artists whose work she loved most. This collection, packed with short stories, poems and pictures from the very best children's authors and illustrators, aims to provide just that. There are 133 contributions from authors and illustrators, including Anthony Horowitz, Axel Scheffler, Catherine Johnson and Jacqueline Wilson.
