"Hope, Where Are You?" is the story of six children around the world who are experiencing school closures during COVID-19. Each story follows a similar pattern of frustration/challenge, finding their hope and importantly spreading their hope to others. Along with the six main characters, you will also find the illustrated characters of 'Hope' and 'Germ' who add a comedic twist. Armand Doucet and Elisa Guerra, as globally recognized and award-winning teachers, saw the impact of school closures on children around the world and wanted to help change the narrative and give children and families hope. They collaborated to write a children’s book “Hope, Where Are You?” illustrated by Ana Ragu (Elisa’s daughter). Numerous other volunteer educators from around the world have also joined the project to help translate the text and promote the key messages of hope. The book is written by volunteers, illustrated by volunteers and has been translated by volunteers into over 30 different languages. If you enjoyed the story donations are encouraged to the UNICEF COVID-19 response.
