GIVEAWAY – One Hundred Steps – The Story of Sir Captain Tom Moore

AD – Gifted for review

Well here we go again *sigh*. At the time of writing we are just about to enter a second National Lockdown and it’s hard not to feel a little bit emotional and anxious about what lies in store in the weeks and months ahead. All those feelings I felt in March have come right back to the forefront, and I find myself often reminising about a pre-covid time where everything felt so ‘normal’. We’re all worried about the future for our families and loved ones and quite frankly, we could all do with a reminder to stay positive and simply take one day at a time – things will, eventually, get better.

Thank you Sir Captain Tom Moore

I think everyone remembers that point of lockdown where we first set eyes on Captain Tom Moore. Not only had this man already served his country, but set out on a personal mission to walk 100 laps of his garden before reaching his 100th birthday, whilst raising money for the NHS heroes who were working flat out to seep us safe.

I remember feeling incredibly emotional learning about his story. Sir Tom very quickly became the people’s hero, as we all followed his challenge in awe. The whole nation got behind him, watching somewhat amazed as his fundraising totaliser just kept going higher and higher. The messages of hope, spirit and community this man provided to us all during some of the darkest months of lockdown is something that I think we will remember forever, proving that if you set your heart to something and truly believe its possible, you can achieve almost anything.

One Hunded Steps (available here on Amazon) is the inspirational picture book with positive underlying messages of adventure, helping others and simply never giving up.

A perfect keepsake for these incredibly strange times, it tells the story of the now knighted Sir Captain Tom Moore, who walked 100 laps of his garden, capturing the heart and soul of the nation with his spirit.

The book features Adam Larkum’s glorious illustrations making it a visual delight for younger readers and follows key moments from Sir Captain Tom Moore’s incredible life to date including his childhood spent roaming the Yorkshire Moors, his time serving in the Second World War and his incredible Guinness world Record breaking moments.

The overall message of this book is that anyone can do or be anything they want and that we can achieve so much more when we come together. Community, support and determination can really make tomorrow a better day.

Now more than ever, we all need a bit of positivity in our lives and this book comes with a great message of hope for our children, particularly on the run up to Christmas.

Raising a nod to Sir Captain Tom Moore, the true hero of the people – the book has been published in support of the Captain Tom Foundation.
