The Tom & Boy bright yellow Cotton Sweatshirt features a charming motif of a boy trying to whistle, adding a playful touch with a retro feel. Made from soft cotton, this sweatshirt blends vibrant colour with a nostalgic design.

This new AW24 collection draws inspiration from "My Favourite Things," a song from the 1959 musical _The Sound of Music_. In the film, the song is sung by Maria, played by Julie Andrews, to comfort the Von Trapp children during a thunderstorm. Maria lists simple pleasures that lift her spirits when she's feeling down, like "Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens."

The song also lent its name to jazz saxophonist John Coltrane’s 1961 album _My Favourite Things_. The album features reimagined versions of popular songs by composers such as Gershwin and Porter. Coltrane once remarked, "you’ve got to go back to the old things and see them in a new light."

With these two references in mind, we asked children about their favourite things that make them feel better. Their picks include: little donkeys, libraries, bagels, pickles, and whistling a tune.
