Hospital libraries are helping to support children

Being in hospital can be a very difficult time, especially if it is a child who is unwell.

To help the young patients and their parents through those tough times, special libraries are being opened in children's hospitals by the charity Spread a Smile.

One of those is at the Evelina London, and award-winning author and broadcaster Michael Rosen went along to read to young patients as part of its launch.
