What is Hope?

WHAT IS HOPE? is a poetry anthology of ekphrastic poems for kids from Janet Wong and Sylvia Vardell and Pomelo Books. This book is a The Children’s Book Council “Hot Off the Press” Selection for August 2023.
How can we help children feel more confident and give them a daily dose of hope? With poetry! Inspired by a wide variety of diverse and inclusive black-and-white photos, these poems explore the many places where hope pops up in our lives: when we play a sport, water a garden, do volunteer work, visit a hospital, or even when we take a test.
100% of the profits from this book will go to charity. The profits will be donated to the IBBY International Board on Books for Young People Children in Crisis Fund benefiting children in many countries.
