Synopsis
Hope loves drawing, painting and making things out of just about anything. Unfortunately, her dream to fill her town with colour and happiness isn’t quite going to plan…that is, until she meets Mrs Green. A story of resilience, friendship and the joy of a community art project.
Authors Biography
Ursula Hurst is a professional illustrator and mural artist based in Cumbria.
She runs art workshops, coordinates community festivals, paints large scale murals and illustrates children’s books.
She has illustrated for many wonderful authors around the country and loves the challenge of creating artwork to draw in reluctant readers. She is currently working on a number of projects with more to be announced soon.
This beautifully illustrated book carries the strong message of how the small things we do can make a big difference. The character named Hope uses her art to bring her community together. This clever story can easily be used to inspire children to imagine how they can use their talents to make a big difference too. The detailed and attractive illustrations also carry a ‘spot the paintbrush’ game on each page – a truly wonderful book.

I’ve really enjoyed the beautiful & colourful illustrations which accompany this charming and heartwarming story.
A feast to the eyes.

Great read! The pathetic fallacy is immense!
This is a fantastic book and my girls love it when I read HOPE to them
Unbelievable beautiful and magical. The artwork is so special
My daughter loved searching for all the tiny paintbrushes in the illustrations.

Beautiful book with a beautiful message.
I bought this for my grandaughter but, as an avid book reader, I had to have a peek! Loved it.
Love this book. Going to use it in class.
I love the detailed illustrations in this book. Still haven’t found all 32 paintbrushes…but I’m not giving up!
Great book for schools to encourage working together and resilience.
Good luck with the competition.
This is such a good book for getting children working together on an art project.
Ursula’s made some fab worksheets to go with this book so teachers can do the project in class. Such a good idea.
Great resource for teachers wanting to do a whole school or class art project
I love the details in the illustrations. We’ve been searching for all the tiny paintbrushes. This kind of thing draws in reluctant readers. Fab idea. Good luck.
Fab book. My daughter just loves getting lost in the illustrations and it’s a fantastic class project.
Great read for young artist.
The old lady, Mrs Green, in the story is so like my grandmother. She taught me how to knit too. These moments are so important in life and Drawing Hope encourages us to take the time to enjoy those moments.
I found this book when Ursula visited my daughter’s school. She was so excited after the visit and now wants to be an artist. Such an inspirational book. Good luck Ursula.
Absolutely WONDERFUL book full of positivity for us all! Being an artist and teacher myself, this is one to be read time and time again to inspire the young. I love it!! ❤️
