The result is a fantastic variety of voice, style and atmosphere. This is a truly beautiful book. All the illustrations are vibrantly colourful, and the overall feeling is of warmth. The preface by Patrice Lawrence is a call to joy amid the troubling news of the world – it’s important to share the power of love, of community and of kindness. As she says, this anthology ‘hums with hope’. You can reserve a physical copy to collect from your local library, or download the ebook from Libby - there's no charge.
