As if I couldn't!: A collection of poems for small and grown-up children

by Bohumila Ottová

Embark on a whimsical adventure with As if I couldn’t!, a delightful collection of poems, brimming with both tenderness and humour, for small and grown-up children.

Each piece brings to life the playful, carefree spirit of childhood. It’s all about having fun, being silly, mischievous or even a little cheeky. It involves girls, boys, and animals. It’s about everything and anything that may spark a child’s imagination or sense of wonder. It’s about finding joy in simple things.

Katarina Bikard’s illustrations perfectly depict this whimsy and playfulness. Her ink blots, scattered across the paper at random, represent both the mistakes and frustration a child might feel as they learn how to write, as well as the messiness of a happy childhood spent jumping into puddles or splashing paint all over the walls. The unpredictable drawings remind us to appreciate the simple beauty and humour of life’s fleeting moments, giving the finishing touch to As if I couldn’t! to make it a cherished keepsake for families, educators, and poetry lovers.

Ideal for bedtime reading or a simple anytime reflection, this collection is not just a book for children. It’s an open door to shared memories, glee, and warmth for readers of all ages. So, come in and discover the treasures within As if I couldn’t!

Let it be the new-classic addition to your bookshelf.
