Thank You by Joseph Coelho
A lyrical, joyful charity picture book about gratitude and community, inspired by the efforts of key workers during the coronavirus pandemic.“This is a book which will bear many repetitions, not least because we are all apt to forget the power of those two small words, spoken out loud and intentionally: ‘Thank You’”

"This touching and joyful picture book is a celebration of all the unsung heroes of our lives." * Booktrust *
I’m yet to read anything written by Joseph Coelho that isn’t a joy. His poetry is always considered, poignant and with great depth. The pairing with Sam Usher here is super - simple monochrome characters and settings which make the ribbon of colours that symbolise the ‘thank you’ seem to dance and leap off the page - it’s so striking! The combined effect is powerful, and it’s a wonderful tool for showing little ones how kindness and gratitude can touch others and ripple through our communities.
