The publisher will donate all profits, which will be a minimum of £1.50
for each copy of the book sold, to Barnardo's (registered charity in
England and Wales no. 216250), who do important work to protect and
support the UK's most vulnerable children, more in need now than ever.
The letter writers include doctors and nurses, care home staff and
vaccinators, train drivers and hairdressers, teachers and
environmentalists - people who have been on the frontline in tackling
the pandemic, or in trying to get the world back on its feet. Other
letters document the unforgettable lighter moments of the past year:
interviews crashed by children, TikTok triumphs and disasters, and
Goats joining Zoom meetings. Each offers their unique perspective on
the year everything changed.
Other contributors include: Al Gore; Alexandra Shulman, Davina McCall,
Toby Regbo, Trevor McDonald, Jo Malone, Keir Starmer, Boris Johnson,
Mark Ronson, Maro Itoje, Nicola Adams, Raymond Blanc, Richard Curtis
and Emma Freud, Chris Van Dusen, Sita Brahmachari, Sophie Gonzales,
Hayden Kays, Tim Peake, Sean Fitzpatrick, and Joan Collins.
The idea for the book came from Natasha Kaplinsky's children, Arlo and
Kika. They wrote an open letter, wanting to understand other people's
experiences of lockdown. Their question, 'What was lockdown like for
you?' is the prompt; the collection of letters in response form the
book. As we keep our fingers crossed that this summer will bring a safe
end to restrictions, this mixture of funny, sad, heart-warming,
surprising, heroic and honest experiences will mark the start of a
period of reflection.
