About
"One day, three people came to my bedside and said: "Today we are going to get you up." After being admitted to the hospital in 2020 for treatment of Covid, Michael Rosen had to learn to walk again.

But it was the walking stick he named Sticky McStickstick that helped him take the most important steps of all: back to his home and the love of his family. The former British Children's Laureate offers a personal and openhearted account, with whimsical illustrations by Tony Ross adding a note of levity as they relay the comedy in Rosen's reluctance and failed attempts.
