I enjoyed reading this book and learning more about Captain Sir Tom Moore’s life. I liked how his story was told in a way that younger children can understand, while still covering important parts of his life. His determination to walk 100 laps of his garden to raise money for the NHS is inspiring and shows children the importance of perseverance, kindness and helping others. I think this would be a lovely book to share with children and could encourage conversations about resilience, community and how one person can make a difference.
I liked all of it, he was 100 years old

This is the story of Captain Sir Tom Moore’s life. It starts in Keighley where he grew up and follows it through until the pandemic struck! Tom wanted to help raise money so he decided to walk one hundred lengths of his garden before he reached the age of 100. He always said”Tomorrow will be a good day.”
