From the critically acclaimed Little People, BIG DREAMS series,
discover the life of Captain Tom Moore, the veteran who raised over £30
million for the UK's National Health Service during the 2020 coronavirus
pandemic.
Once there was a humble boy from Yorkshire, England called Tom, who was
born with his feet firmly on the ground. His determination and courage
saw him and his comrades through the worst crisis the world had ever
known: World War Two. So when a new crisis struck in 2020, just before
his 100th birthday, Captain Tom knew just what to do. Aiming to raise
£1,000 for the NHS by walking 100 laps of his garden, his story soon
became known all over the world, with people donating so much that he
quickly raised over £30 million! Captain Tom's story shows us that, by
coming together, we can dream bigger than ever, and that when the going
gets tough, you just have to keep on walking.
This inspiring book features stylish and quirky illustrations and
extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with
historical photos and a detailed profile of the Captain's life.
