Words of wisdom from older generations are being shared with children throughout Ireland and as far afield as the US, thanks to A Book of Hope, edited and illustrated by artist Ana Colomer.
As part of Clare County Council’s Keep Well campaign, Clare Arts Office supported Ana to create the book under the Cúram initiative. Ana invited older writers to submit pieces about aspects of life when they were growing up. She then illustrated each submission.
The first copy of A Book of Hope was presented to one of the contributors, Mary McMahon. Mary, in turn, has passed the book on to her grandchildren.
