This poignant children's book is a heartfelt and uplifting tribute to the individuals who tirelessly worked to ensure our safety and maintain the functioning of society during the global pandemic. Authored by the esteemed Waterstones Children's Laureate, Joseph Coelho, the story revolves around Tatenda, a young boy who expresses his daily gratitude to those around him.
Tatenda begins his day by expressing his gratitude to his parents for preparing breakfast, to the post lady for delivering his favorite comic, to his teacher for marking his work, and to the shop assistant for stacking shelves. However, lately, it seems that no one can hear his heartfelt thank-you messages. Their minds are consumed by worries and anxieties, overshadowing the importance of acknowledging and appreciating the efforts of others.
Determined to make a difference, Tatenda decides to say his biggest thank you ever. He stands on tiptoe, his arms outstretched like a magnificent rainbow, and his words carry a profound impact. This time, his gratitude not only uplifts his immediate surroundings but also spreads throughout the entire community.
The story, inspired by the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic and the heartfelt appreciation for healthcare workers known as the NHS Thursday clap, serves as a valuable tool for teaching children how to celebrate and honor the key workers in their lives. By purchasing a copy of this book, readers are making a charitable donation of 3% of the retail price to Groundwork, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting some of the most disadvantaged communities in the UK as they navigate the effects of the pandemic.
Through the pages of this touching tale, children are encouraged to recognize and appreciate the sacrifices made by these individuals, who have worked tirelessly to keep us safe and provide essential services during these challenging times. The story also highlights the importance of kindness, empathy, and community support, emphasizing the power of small acts of gratitude to make a significant difference in the lives of others.
In conclusion, this beautiful story, penned by the talented author and illustrator team, offers a heartfelt message of appreciation and gratitude to the individuals who have selflessly contributed to our well-being during the global pandemic. By purchasing a copy of the book and supporting the charitable cause, readers can contribute to the ongoing efforts to support and uplift those in need. Let us continue to spread kindness and gratitude, recognizing the invaluable contributions of the key workers in our lives and inspiring future generations to do the same.
