After being admitted to hospital in 2020 with coronavirus, Michael Rosen had to learn to walk again.
With the support of doctors and nurses — and his trusty NHS walking stick, that he named 'Sticky — he manages to embark on the slow steps to recovery.
Encouraged by an outpouring of affection, and support from social media, Michael’s recovery has been well documented on Twitter in particular: Sticky would appear in frequent tweets, hiding against a grey sofa, or reproaching Michael for not being used. It was here that Michael was encouraged to turn his tale of hope and resilience into a book.
