"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 £1 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.

    Is this to pay for the spa removal costs?

    Nope because she has refused to take it down.

    Not sure about £1 per book going to a "charity"

    The Captain Tom Foundation initially declined to comment. However, a spokesperson subsequently said: “The Captain Tom Foundation confirms that it has received donations from Penguin for all of the books badged as providing a £1 charitable donation for each sale.”

    Lots of incredibly sketchy stories coming out about that family and the way they spend the charity money. I wouldn't want to support that.

    Also as much as Cpt. Tom was a war hero, there was something incredibly nationalistic and b*exity about the way this man was worshiped and elevated during the pandemic by the Johnson government...

    I find the whole thing very distasteful to be honest. (edited)

    Not sure how you can relate an elderly man walking in his garden with a frame to Brexit?
