Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
When You Find a Hope
Allie Millington · 2025
78/100
👍 Worth It
This allegorical picture book works on two levels — young children follow the journey of a tangible hope-object, while adults feel the deeper pull of resilience after loss. Worthy Kids as publisher and Allie Millington's genuine story behind the book give it credibility without being preachy. The abstract style is a real barrier for the very youngest readers, so plan on a conversation alongside it.
