Michael Rosen, one of our patrons and well known writer of childen’s books and poems, has written a book called “Many Different Kinds of Love: A Story of Life, Death and the NHS” after his ordeal with COVID-19.

Michael was hospitalized and spent 47 days in intensive care and wrote a book about his experiences.

The book contains very moving diaries written by the nursing staff and doctors who looked after him, and his wife, Emma, whilst he was in a six week coma. It also contains his own prose poems about his experiences.

This book shows how important community and the kind gestures of people in these very hard times.

I thoroughly recommend this book which can be purchased from amazon.co.uk

Michael has also written a book about his hypothyroidism journey, “This is Not my Nose: A Memoir of Illness and Recovery

Please think about using smile.amazon.co.uk and making us your charity as this really helps us to continue our work helping people with thyroid disease and related conditions.

Michael Rosen's "We're Going On a Bear Hunt" is an absolute favourite in our house and assigned to life's many obscure situations and challenges.

Reviews for "Many Different Kinds of Love: A Story of Life, Death and the NHS' say it isn't all sad. Just ordered it for £11.22 on smileamazon.co.uk 😀
