The new book from the author of the bestselling Remarkable People contains a totally fresh batch of humble heroes whose actions, bravery and determination have helped shape their communities.

Standing on the Shoulders asks who are these little-known marvels and what makes them tick? What do they have in common? What can we all learn from them? Is there something special in the chain of events? What does it take to make a lasting impact on others?

History can be cruel and forgetful to those who don't shout about their own success or good deeds, but Standing on the Shoulders is a beautifully-written and illuminating celebration of ordinary people and the extraordinary things they do. It is also a timely reminder of the goodness and positivity that drives us forward during challenging times.

Dan Walker was born in Crawley in West Sussex in 1977. He is a TV presenter and journalist who recently moved to become one of the faces of Channel 5. Previously he presented BBC1's Breakfast for six years and Football Focus for twelve years. Dan's other books are Remarkable People: Extraordinary Stories of Everyday Lives, Dan Walker's Football Thronkersaurus: Football's Finest Tales and Dan Walker's Magic, Mud & Maradona: Cup Football's Finest Tales. He lives in Sheffield with his wife, three children and Winne the dog.

With a foreword by 2021 Strictly Come Dancing winner Rose Ayling-Ellis, and including chapters on Rose and her mum, the 3 Dads Walking, Martin Hibbert, Paul and Nick Harvey, the heroes of Fishmongers’ Hall, and Jimi Olubunmi-Adewole.
