What to expect
A brand new collection of poetry by former Children's Laureate Michael Rosen, author of We're Going on a Bear Hunt.
There’s this thing we call
the ‘chain of life’.
It’s the way we hand on
the things we do and the things we say
to the people we know
and the people we meet.
We may never meet
the people who come before us on the chain,
again,
but we meet people
who are next on the chain.
Or…
some of us write things down
and pass things on down the chain
to the people who read
what we write.
In this beautiful, funny, and moving collection of brand new poems, beloved writer and former Children's Laureate Michael Rosen shares an unforgettable series of stories, experiences and memories of his own childhood.
This is a book to treasure and share – a perfect introduction to poetry for readers of all ages.
