Fox Correspondent Benjamin Hall Turns Ukraine Survival into Hit Kids Book ‘Read All About It!’ — Release Date, Story & Hedgehog Hero Revealed

Fox News senior correspondent Benjamin Hall — the reporter who survived a 2022 missile strike in Ukraine — is back in headlines this week with the release of his debut children’s picture book, “Read All About It!” Hall’s storybook, published by HarperCollins on 3 March 2026, follows a brave stuffed hedgehog that mirrors the tiny toy that accompanied him on war assignments and was tucked inside his body armor during the Kyiv blast that nearly cost him his life. According to the publisher, the forest-set adventure teaches young readers about courage, community and the value of truthful storytelling — themes Hall says kept him moving forward during two years of surgeries and rehab after the attack. In an exclusive interview Hall explained that the hedgehog became a lifeline to his four daughters — Honor, Iris, Hero and newborn Sage — as he sent them “dispatches” from the front lines. “It was the reminder I was fighting to get home,” he recalled, noting that the plush survivor now inspires the book’s protagonist, who embarks on a race to warn the forest after spotting a baby owl in danger. “Read All About It!” also doubles as a love letter to journalism. Hall, who previously chronicled his ordeal in the best-selling memoirs “Saved” and “Resolute,” says young audiences need to understand where facts come from and why reporters risk everything to deliver them. The picture book’s back matter includes a “press pass” activity page that encourages kids to interview family members and “file” their own stories, echoing Hall’s belief that truth-seeking starts locally. Industry watchers expect the book to draw crossover interest: Hall’s memoirs built a large adult readership, and his resilience segments on Fox News continue to drive digital engagement. Early pre-orders have already lifted the title into Amazon’s top children’s new-release rankings. For parents and educators looking to spark conversations about bravery, empathy and media literacy — or for anyone following Hall’s remarkable comeback — “Read All About It!” is available now wherever books are sold, with signed copies offered through select retailers.
