In November, thanks to National Literacy Trust’s partnership with BUPA Foundation, all primary schools in Manchester received three copies each of Bloomsbury’s collection of brilliant short stories, artwork and poems, The Book of Hopes.

Each school was invited to enter the ‘Scrapbook of Hopes’ competition, whereby teachers and pupils were asked to take inspiration from The Book of Hopes and demonstrate how they spread hope, optimism and a love of reading in their school and community.
