Description

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.

I really liked the idea behind this book and whilst everyone is worrying about Covid-19 it reminds us that we still have things to be thankful for.

The illustrations in the book are lovely and I liked the way that the “thank you” is portrayed too.

It is a lovely idea and it makes us remember everything we still have to be thankful for it – it is 4 stars from me for this one – highly recommended!

A beautifully uplifting book with a simple but effective message,

Tatanda, a little boy, is worried that people aren't hearing his messages of thanks, so he puts his heart and soul into one enormous thanks for the world, It blossoms and blooms across the world, growing in colour and strength and ending in an NHS rainbow of thanks across the world. Everyone underneath the rainbow, a wonderful list of keyworkers from all walks of life - are touched by it is uplifted and jollied by the sight, good job Tatanda! A great start to the day and a good reminder for everyone

Thanks to @netgalley and the publishers for letting me read the story in exchange for my honest review

This book is really cute and I think the way 'thankyou' is portrayed in the book is lovely too.
Great little story which shows you just how many people you should be thankful too in day to day life.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read and review.

A wonderful way to introduce and reaffirm the joy of gratitude and being thankful for those around you. The visual representation of how gratitude grows and spreads is simply delightful! I cannot wait to bring this book into my classroom and home libraries. I know it will be one we read again and again!

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for kindly providing me with a digital copy of this book for review.
I’m sure pretty much everyone on the planet is aware of how Covid- 19 has hijacked 2020. I’m sure everyone has seen windows decorated with rainbows and thank you messages. It has been a time when we’ve had to teach gratitude and this is where this little book comes in very useful. It shows young readers how much they still have to be thankful for, even though the world is quite a scary place with lots of new rules and behaviours now.. it shows how people can work together to keep things moving, so things like your mail can still be delivered, But always remembering to say thank you.
I’ve read this author before and can recommend Luna loves library day - it was a big hit with my children.
Even in a time without Covid- I think the idea of expressing gratitude is a very valuable and important one. Definitely recommend.

A lovely book which captures the spirit of lockdown and the Thank You rainbows which appeared everywhere to thank the NHS and key workers. Tatenda says thank you to everyone but they're so worried that they've stopped hearing him, so he tries to say thank you in a different way.

I love the illustrations which are largely monochrome, with the rainbow being the only colour on the page.
