Description
"For all those finding it difficult: the sun will shine on you again and the clouds will go away. Remember that tomorrow will be a good day."
Written by Paralympian Danielle Brown MBE, and introduced by Hannah Ingram-Moore
Captain Sir Tom Moore captured the hearts of a nation, as he walked 100 laps of his garden to raise money for the NHS. He wished to celebrate many other everyday heroes from this uncertain time, and with his blessing, these one hundred stories make a book of hope for the future.
Featuring well-known stories such as Joe Wicks' family workouts, as well as stories of courage, community, everyday kindness and perseverance, such as:
Dancing binmen
Fancy-dress postal workers
Scientists racing to find a vaccine
Frontline workers who kept us all going
With lively and engaging illustrations, these are stories that will help you hope that tomorrow will be a good day.
Because hope starts with one small step . . .
Inspired by, and with the blessing of, one man and his walking frame, a GBP1 donation will be made to The Captain Tom Foundation for all hardback print sales in the UK and Ireland. The Captain Tom Foundation was created to inspire hope where it is needed most: combating loneliness, helping those facing bereavement, and supporting hospices - and this book celebrates the spirit of this amazing achievement.
