THINGS THAT
SHOULD BE IN A POEM
5th September
           
You can bump into a poem anywhere. They hide in houses, fields, oceans, cities, trees... the list is endless! I've even found poems in people's faces when they laugh or cry, or get excited. Go hunting! Troika Books

Seems like someone is attempting to hack my account, weird. 🙃 Just posting a random stuff here for showing I’m active.

I thought it would be appropriate to share ‘Mustafa’s Jumper’, as today is World Refugee Day. So pleased this poem is included in my new collection, ‘Things That Should be in a Poem’, out in September (5yrs+), illustrated by the extremely talented ⁦Shih-Yu Lin⁩. #refugees

Working with Shih-Yu Lin has been fun. Hope to show you more of our KS1 book, very soon. Out in September. 😁 #poetrycommunity #schools #Homeschool #literacy
