Description

A delightfully uplifting new collection of children's poetry from Joshua Seigal, winner of the 2020 and 2023 Laugh Out Loud Book Awards and 2024 Reading Rocks Award.

Whether you are in the mood for something hilariously silly or sentimental, this new collection of witty, reflective, and rather ridiculous poems will lift your mood, spark your imagination, and give your mental health a little boost!

Joshua Seigal’s verses will have you pondering life’s big (and small) questions as you encounter a waxy pet lemon, spicy jalapeños and a valiant dog who proves that even the smallest of us can be heroes. This book is a must-have for imaginative young readers and aspiring poets aged 7+.

Joshua Seigal is a two-time winner of the Laugh Out Loud awards (also known as the Lollies) in 2020 with I Bet I Can Make You Laugh and in 2023 with Yapping Away. Joshua won the People's Book Prize in 2022, and his poetry collection Who Let the Words Out? also won the 2024 Reading Rocks award in the Lower Key Stage Two category in 2024.

About the Author

Joshua Seigal is an internationally renowned poet, performer and educator. His first book with Bloomsbury, I Don’t Like Poetry, was nominated for the Laugh Out Loud Award, an award Joshua has subsequently won twice. He is also a recipient of The People’s Book Prize, and has performed at schools and festivals around the world, including the Edinburgh Book Festival, the Cheltenham Literature Festival, and the Emirates Literature Festival. He is an Official Ambassador for National Poetry Day, and has been commissioned to write and perform for the BBC. He can normally be found running poetry workshops and performances in schools, either online or in real life. His website is www.joshuaseigal.co.uk.

Chris Piascik started his career as a graphic designer at award-winning studios in the Northeast USA before accidentally becoming an illustrator. This strange transformation was the result of his daily drawing project that he started in late 2007 and, in fact, he's still posting a new drawing every day.
