«Dance and show the joy that fills your heart. Dance now while you're a child, so you won't be too serious when you grow up.» Pope Francis loves speaking to children—talking with them, listening to them, watching them move with a freedom and naturalness that few adults would dare to claim. It is, in every sense, a gift to the young that Bergoglio has written Children Are Hope, a colorful and remarkably effective call to sharing and peace. Through simple sentences—collected by Father Antonio Spadaro, editor of La Civiltà Cattolica—the Pope invites children to be generous, not to fear tears, to do good, to smile, to work together, and to radiate joy. His message becomes a genuine welcome to the young also through the illustrations of Sheree Boyd, a New York–based artist born in Italy: the children populating the Pope's pages are of every race, color, tradition, religion, and ability. That a book like this makes room for a child with a disability gives Francis's message concrete strength. And it opens the door to hope.
