Description
A poignant and powerful story about love, life, and the NHS. Michael Rosen's journey to recovery from coronavirus is a testament to the human spirit, as he reflects on his time in hospital and the kindness of those who cared for him. During his months-long stay in intensive care, a notebook lay at the end of his bed, where nurses wrote letters of hope and support. This book brings together Michael's own thoughts and feelings, combined with stunning new prose poems by one of Britain's best-loved poets, and moving coronavirus diaries from the nurses who cared for him. Featuring original illustrations by Chris Riddell, this beautiful book celebrates the power of community and the importance of kind gestures in dark times. It is a heartwarming tribute to the NHS and its dedicated staff, and a powerful exploration of what it means to be human.
