HarperCollins to publish new children's book by FOX News Jjournalist Benjamin Hall
Publishing company HarperCollins Children's Books, a division of News Corp (NASDAQ: NWS) subsidiary HarperCollins Publishers, announced on Tuesday that it has acquired world rights to Read All About It!, a picture book by FOX News senior correspondent and bestselling author Benjamin Hall. Publication is set for 3 March 2026.
Illustrated by Martina Motzo, Read All About It! tells the story of a young hedgehog inspired by his journalist father who takes action to warn his forest community of danger. The book explores themes of courage, truth, and the role of journalism, drawn from Hall's personal experience as a war correspondent and a gift from his daughters - a toy hedgehog he carried during assignments in conflict zones.
Hall, author of Saved and Resolute, said the book aims to show children that "bravery, truth, and journalism matter" and that "anyone, no matter their age, can help change the world."
The acquisition was negotiated by HarperCollins Editorial Director David Linker with Olivia Metzger at OManagement representing Hall, and Shefalika Marescotti of MIA Milan Illustrations Agency representing Motzo.
Hall joined FOX News Channel in 2015 and is the host of Searching for Heroes on FOX News Audio.
