Andrea Davidson

Can you feel homesick and at home at the same time? Ever felt lost for words but full of things to say? Meet Andrea Davidson.
In Eggenwise, Andrea explores moving to a different country, learning a new language, growing up and falling in love through poems that notice the remarkable in the everyday: a salted parsley sprig, thundering raindrops on windowpanes, and the buzzzZZZzzz of a pesky pet fly.
Through warm and conversational verse, Eggenwise invites you to step into the author's new home in Belgium, to roll your tongue around new words, savour their sound and share your own story through poetry…
Fully illustrated throughout by Amy Louise Evans.

Eggenwise: and Other Poems

Julio Serrano Echeverría

Meet Balam, a boy who could be a cat. Meet Lluvia, a girl who could be the dawn. Balam and Lluvia are siblings who catch fireflies, bid farewell to their pet fish in the bathroom, and wait for Ratón Pérez to collect their teeth.
In Balam and Lluvia's House, the secret tastes and sounds of the everyday are waiting to be found. From the smell of crushed laurel leaves to the whispers of the peach tree in their back garden, every day is a day of discovery. Full of lively and reflective poems, this book invites the reader to run alongside Balam and Lluvia captivated by the world that surrounds them.
Lawrence Schimel's translation brings the work of acclaimed Guatemalan author and playwright Julio Serrano Echeverría into English for the first time.
Shortlisted for the CLiPPA Poetry Award and The Week Junior Book Awards 2024.

What's your favourite food? Who's your best friend? Have you tried to grow a rock? Aren't beards weird? Did you ever move house and miss where you used to live? Didn't a lot change when the pandemic started?
My Sneezes Are Perfect is a collection of poems in the voice of a small boy who wants to tell you about all the things he's learning, all the time.

My Sneezes Are Perfect

Open this book carefully: as soon as you do, the wind will sweep you up across the city. You'll roam down empty streets, take a ride on the Metro and see magical things – but there's always time to stop and look about the world around you: the night, the rain, and the sea. These poems focus on everyday, small things – and breathe new life into everything that children see around them. A plastic bag dreams of becoming a cloud, raindrops go on holiday to the sea, and hats fill up with thoughts.
The book builds an immersive, tender world – and through its gentle sense of humour and striking images it teaches children to look closely at everything they come across.. Suitable for children aged 6+.

ROAR! Now I've got your attention, can I interest you in a book of poems about dinosaurs?
Though they went extinct 65 million years ago, dinosaurs are still everywhere. They're on TV in The Land Before Time, in classrooms and museum collections, but it might still be hard to believe that dinosaurs walked here once. The poets in this anthology bring dinosaurs out of their display cases and into your home, and ask them politely to be careful with the carpet.
Dragons of the Prime is an anthology for children which tackles the big questions about these larger-than-life creatures: what would a baby diplodocus pray for, and just how big is a dinosaur's egg? Along the way it takes in fossil-finders – like the pioneering Mary Anning – T-Rex's gym routine, and chickens who dream at night of their dino ancestors' 'dagger teeth'. There are poems about dinosaurs in their Jurassic heyday, poems about new discoveries and the latest scientific knowledge, and poems about the history of how humans have imagined these amazing beasts.

A boy selkie who takes girlness off like a sealskin, an untameable kelpie, the warrior-wife of a princess, and a Loch Ness monster who is too busy having fun to worry about words like "girl" or "boy". This is the way the world is - with just a bit of Scottish myth and magic thrown in. Wain is a fully-illustrated collection of LGBT themed poetry aimed at teens (but suitable for all ages) based on retellings of Scottish folk tales. These poems immerse readers in an enriching, diverse and enchanting vision of contemporary life.
