In March 2020, Michael Rosen became unwell. Soon he was struggling to breathe, and he was admitted to
hospital with coronavirus. What
followed was months on the wards: a month in an induced coma, and weeks of rehab and recovery as the NHS saved his life, and then got him back on his feet. Throughout it all, a diary was kept at the end of Michael’s bed, where his nurses wrote him letters of hope and support. And as soon as he was awake, he was ready to start writing his own story.
Combining stunning new prose poems by one of Britain’s best loved poets and the moving coronavirus diaries of his nurses, and featuring original
illustrations by Chris Riddell, this is a beautiful book about love, life and the NHS that celebrates the power of
community and the indomitable spirits of the people who keep us well.
