Oh No. Sad I hope he pulls through.

He came to our school and was very warm and funny.

halcyondays · 30/03/2020 17:31

Hope he’ll be ok.

My kids love Michael Rosen and all the brilliant mash ups of his stuff on the net. We even sent a family GWS tweet. I really hope he recovers well.

LittleRa · 30/03/2020 17:36

Is he ill with coronavirus? Thoughts with him and his family x

MissFlite · 30/03/2020 17:39

He had been documenting his symptoms on Twitter for well over a week and didn't seem to be improving at all.
Hope he will do better now he's had some treatment.

elephantoverthehill · 30/03/2020 17:42

I've always enjoyed 'Word of Mouth' on R4. I hope he makes a good recovery.

HelpIcantfindaname · 30/03/2020 18:06

I love Michael Rosen. Hope he gets well soon.

This is not a stealth board, but I was good friends with his niece at school, and went to his house occasionally. He is an absolutely lovely guy. He used to come to school for book week. All the English teachers were terrified of him!

PristineCondition · 30/03/2020 18:10

He's a national treasure.
I really do wish him good health.

Ostanovka · 30/03/2020 18:10

Oh gosh. Healing thoughts to Michael Rosen.

itsgettingweird · 30/03/2020 18:11

I remember him from my childhood days and love reading his stuff to the kids I teach now.

Get well soon Sir. You're a literacy legend!

Bottletopsx · 30/03/2020 18:13

I really hope he recovers, he is lovely.

monkeytennis97 · 30/03/2020 18:53

Love him. Sending my love to him and his family

tulipsrus · 30/03/2020 18:57

His family just said in FB that he’s been in ICU, but now on a ward.
Hopefully that’s the path to recovery
We love him in this house.

I went to a union thing he was at and I took along a copy of Going on a bear hunt. I told him about a child I was teaching who was autistic but knew this book by heart and we used it when he was stressed. I apologised for the cheek but he had already taken it from my hand and signed it and drew a picture.

I gave it to the boy in front of his mum. She cried, he couldn't stop beaming and it was a moment of my teaching life.

Dowser · 08/04/2020 23:15

My dd just told me about this today.
Her and her kids had seen him live and said he was lovely.
Let’s send him some healing folks 🤞🙏

TheChosenTwo · 09/04/2020 00:14

He’s absolutely brilliant! He’s converted my year 4 gaggle to loving poetry.
Hopefully he’s now on the mend and will write again.

echt · 09/04/2020 04:08

I hope he gets well soon. Always the voice of intelligence, compassion and reason about education. Oh, and fun. His articles in the Guardian are outstanding.

Here's his last one:
