Book: Hope for Cornwall
Hope for Cornwall is a creative non-fiction picture book rooted in reality. Commissioned by Homes for Cornwall in early 2024, it tells the story of Cornwall’s housing crisis unflinchingly yet poetically, through words and pictures. At a time when debate around Cornwall’s housing crisis can feel intractable and divisive, Hope for Cornwall was created to help change the narrative around housing from one of blame and despair to one of hope and collaboration.
"This is a story of hope. Hope for the future of Cornwall at a time of opportunity and a time of crisis. Hope for today’s Cornwall, the real Cornwall, for our dreams for how Cornwall can be. It is also a story of people because Cornwall is not just land and sea and sky, it is not just buildings and history, business and beauty, it is people – wherever they were born, wherever they live, whoever they are. This is also a story of homes and the crippling lack of them that is holding Cornwall back, and about how together we must write a better future, for everyone who calls Cornwall home. This is a story of hope because even during the roughest storm or on the dullest day, there is blue behind the grey."
Researched, written, and illustrated by Helen Trevaskis, writer, illustrator and founder & director of StreetDraw.
Homes for Cornwall is an independent coalition committed to helping drive forward the right kind of housing for Cornwall and the people of Cornwall.
Paperback, full colour, 48 pages. 210x210mm.
