Author Description

This is the 2nd poetry book for children released by Poets Unite Worldwide. Poets from around the world stepped back into the shoes of their younger selves to come up with a potpourri of children poetry. What fun it was to be part of this group that played with words and rhymes, cuddling stanzas like dolls in blankets and releasing the inner child like butterflies in search of petals. Besides the group of poets who needed to get into smaller shoes to set their imaginations free, it was a pleasure to have a few younger writers on the team... our youngest a beautiful young lady of three! How wonderful to know that poetry is well and alive being enjoyed across generations! (Annette Potgieter, SA) *** 16 children contributed to this anthology. Along with words, the book also displays paintings created by them --since painting is a substantial aspect of children's vision of the world. Their works reveal children's inner space and their reflection on the outside world: their strong emotional, soulful connection with it. Their art expresses their individuality and their perception of Life. (Lidia Hristeva, UK)
