Cloud Soup

This collection, chosen by Liz Brownlee, brings together 40 brilliant “shape poems" inspired by some of the remarkable people who have shaped our world. Inside, you’ll find poems about Greta Thunberg, Rosa Parks and Albert Einstein— each with a biography, a quote and a fascinating fact.
Take Off Your Brave
Be surprised and inspired by this book of poems written by four-year-old Nadim, with artwork by Yasmeen Ismall. Taking you inside a child’s world of glitter, magic boxes and rainbows, this book proves that poetry is for everyone and might inspire you to try writing some poems yourself!
