Please remember tomorrow is a good day and we will get through in the end.’’ Captain Sir Thomas Moore 30 April 1920. A boy is born in Yorkshire. A boy with a passion for walking and engines. May 1940. The Nazis have initiated an unthinkable nightmare, a Hell on Earth. The boy joins the Duke of Wellington’s Regiment. In India, he fights against all enemies and becomes Captain, always there to encourage his comrades in the fight against tyranny. Spring 2020. As his 100th birthday is approaching, he decides to walk 100 laps in his garden, having recovered from an accident. And then another battle, no less terrifying, begins. The fight against an invisible enemy. He decides to raise 1,000 pounds for the ones who sacrifice their lives daily to save us. The healthcare workers, the doctors and the nurses, the tireless angels on our shoulders. And he raises 30,000,000 pounds, winning one more battle. But the enemy strikes again, vicious and stealthy. 2 February 2021. Captain Tom Moore departs for the place of angels, leaving behind an invaluable legacy of courage, solidarity and the need to never give up. ‘’The sun will shine on you again and the clouds will go away.’’ Captain Sir Thomas Moore Many thanks to Francis Lincoln Children’s Books and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Little People, BIG DREAMS is such a fabulous series. If you haven't grabbed this magnificent children's non-fiction picture book series, get on it! There are so many to choose from and they are all packed full of info, great pictures and inspiration.
This time around, Captain Tom Moore! This young sprout from Yorkshire grew up to join the army and be a source of pride and inspiration. He walked 100 laps around his garden before his 100th birthday, all around the time of a global pandemic. This guy deserves his own book and is an excellent addition to your children's book shelves.
Five out of five stars.
