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.
