Robot, Unicorn, Queen
Shannon Bramer's follow-up to her much-loved poetry book Climbing Shadows is a collection of poems that explore a range of childhood experiences. Many poems reveal what it feels like to be a child - to pretend and dream and play with abandon, as well as to hurt and regret and feel sorrowful.
In the opening poem a child welcomes their newborn sibling, while the last poem is a surreal lullaby. In between we find poems about a child who listens to a toad, who feels left out, who loves the beach, who must practice piano, whose pet budgies have died, who visits their father on weekends, and more.
Readers young and old will see themselves in these beautifully illustrated poems - a collection full of laughter, tears and wonder.
