**Puffin has published an illustrated children’s book celebrating stories of “triumph,
perseverance and positivity” from the past year, with an introduction from Captain
Sir Tom Moore’s daughter, Hannah Ingram-Moore. **

_One Hundred Reasons to Hope_ was published on 16 September 2021, with £1 from each
hardback sale in the UK and Ireland being donated to The Captain Tom Foundation.

The book features well-known stories from the pandemic such as Joe Wicks’ family
workouts, as well as those of everyday heroes, including dancing binmen and fancy-
dress postal workers, who brought joy to their neighbourhoods during the pandemic.

seeking a vaccine, to frontline workers putting themselves at risk.

_One Hundred Reasons to Hope _is illustrated by Adam Larkum with stories curated
by Danielle Brown, who is a double Paralympian Gold medallist, children’s author
and inspirational speaker for young people. It follows last year’s publication by
