As you look back, Don’t worry, don’t dwell, Remember the joy This time brought as well The Coronavirus pandemic transformed the lives of all of us in small and enormous ways. Among the panic, the sadness and the challenging moments, buds of human resilience grew and flourished. The rainbow of humanity that emerged from the storm of the global pandemic is made up of special moments of fragility, resilience and hope from around the world. This book is a time capsule of these moments – the stormy ones, the flashes of joy, the sparks of innovation and bursts of kindness, as humanity assembled to embrace a new kind of normal. Written by author, journalist and poetry-slam champion Samantha Turnbull.
