Joseph Coelho 
Thank You 
A story celebrating key workers and the NHS

This touching children’s book is a heartfelt and heartwarming tribute to the people who worked hard to keep us safe and keep society going during the global pandemic, from Waterstones Children’s Laureate Joseph Coelho.



Tatenda says thank you every day, wherever he can.
Thank you to Mum and Dad for making breakfast,
thank you to the post lady for delivering his favourite comic,
thank you to his teacher for marking his work and
thank you to the shop assistant stacking shelves.



But lately,
it seems no one can hear his thank yous: their heads are too foggy with worry . So Tatenda decides to say his biggest ‘Thank you’ ever. He stands on tiptoe, brings his arms down like a huge rainbow… and this time, his thank you helps the whole community feel better!



This
beautiful story from an
award-winning author and illustrator team was inspired by the coronavirus pandemic and the
NHS Thursday clap and helps to show children how they can celebrate the key workers in their lives.



By buying a copy of this book you are making a
donation of 3% of the retail price to Groundwork , a charity that helps some of the UK’s most disadvantaged communities deal with the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
