Michael Rosen in hospital

nor me .who is he? hold on isnt he an author. seems to remember gc books .

Very sorry to hear about this. A decent man and much-loved by children. My granddaughters used to recite some of his poems by heart.

Get well soon, Michael.

Maisie hugs.... I understand what you are saying...

I hope he recovers. I didn't know about the bullying campaign. I just hope after this is over we can be kinder to each other. Being nasty to others is so self destructive.

Don't know him but I hope he pulls through.

Best known for We're Going on a Bear Hunt, moggie and very many other children's books. DGD loves them.

Treading sensitive ground who is Michael Rosen?

sarahellenwhitney A children's book writer, former children's laureate, very caring about the less fortunate. Good speaker who did a lot to promote children's reading in schools.

Latest tweet from his family. Improving, has eaten today, awaiting a more comfortable oxygen mask. Sounds v positive

Good to hear suziewoozie.

I hope he recovers soon. I love his children's books and his campaign to encourage children to love reading.

Sorry....who is Michael Rosen? Am I the only person who doesn't know who he is?

Michael Rosen is the grey haired, bewhiskered man who wrote the poem, 'These are the Hands', in celebration of 60 years of the NHS.

You can see him on this video, in the company of others who share the reading of his poem: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDDGDuJrUCc

Thanks for putting me out my misery maremia probably as I have no young grandkids any more and I don’t do twitter I hadn’t connected him but I know the bear book

No flygirl I was ignorant too

I really like Michael Rosen. I hope he gets well soon.

He is also on Radio 4 quite a bit. Glad to hear he is improving. We need positive news about people getting better.

From what his family have just said on Twitter, it’s looking as though it’s uncertain that Michael will survive.

So sorry to hear that.

Sorry granny missed your post but slightly different link anyway.

Michael Rosen is talking to Philip Pullman on radio 4 about language. Does anyone know if he's better now?

Nobody has said what’s wrong with him so I have to guess it’s THE virus!
I haven’t heard of him either.

Maizie D-----Showing yourself up again.

LullyDully His wife has been writing on his Twitter account, but it hasn't been updated since 7 May, when he was still very poorly.
