A collection of powerfully emotive and beautifully written poems, ideal for older children.
Among my favourites were: ‘It’s Always the Same’ about a vulnerable child who lacks the protective armour that stability provides, the lyrical ‘When You Get Sad You Speak Like the Sea’, ‘Guess What’ about finding a friendship that seems like destiny, and ‘The Wolf’ – a metaphor for divorce.
These poems made me cry – highly recommended!
