Product Description
Start an adventure in poetry with Simon Lamb's debut poetry collection, A Passing On of Shells, being fifty poems, each written in exactly fifty words. Nominated for the Yoto Carnegie Medal for Writing and ideal for readers of all ages, it features unique artistic interpretations throughout by former UK Children's Laureate Chris Riddell. With subjects ranging from family, identity, and growing up, to the need for hope, the wonder of nature, and the very concept of poetry itself, Simon offers his poems as small nuggets of wisdom, warmth and wit to help readers young and old navigate their lives. Complementing the always-present three-dimensional sense of drama and interaction with the reader, every poem is gifted its own double page spread, each one exquisitely illustrated by Chris Riddell, with his distinctive insight and flair adding new layers of meaning and joy to these already magical poems. Fifty little universes await you in this book, now available in a beautiful paperback edition. Dive on in.
