Biographical note
Michael Rosen is one of the best-known figures in the children's book world. He is renowned for his work as a poet, performer, broadcaster and scriptwriter. He visits schools with his one-man show to enthuse children with his passion for books and poetry. In 2007 he was appointed Children's Laureate, a role which he held until 2009. While Laureate, he set up The Roald Dahl Funny Prize. He currently lives in London with his wife and children.In some ways, this is a quirky and intimate memoir. But Rosen has become that curious thing, a national treasure, and this book perhaps reflects the national mood - and the national need, even - better than a grander account of Covid might—<i>The Times</i><br /><br />Like having a cup of tea and a chat with Michael himself. Just full to the brim with wisdom, truth and beautiful silliness.—<i>Cariad Lloyd</i><br /><br />If I could prescribe <i>Getting Bette</i>r to the entire nation, I would. It's so gloriously full of the warmth, wisdom and incredible honesty that mean Michael is loved by adults and children alike. It's a book that inspires hope, courage and belief in humanity. Basically, it reminds you how to live. I loved every single word.—<i>Dr Rachel Clarke</i><br /><br />Funny and very moving <b>*****</b>—<i>Daily Mail</i><br /><br />A survivor's manual—<i>Guardian</i>
