A wonderful blend of the humorous, the touching, and the empowering. Zephaniah is truly unique in his ability to write poetry that can be enjoyed and appreciated by readers of any age. Some poems speak to your humorous side, and others to your heart and soul.

A truly fantastic collection of poetry!

Happy, sad, funny, shocking, hopeful and despairing, Zephaniah's poetry has the power to inspire them all.

Read by the poet himself 😊 a listen to dip in and out of many times.

i am not the target audience but my libby app had a copy and it was only an hour and a half so i listened to it and it was awesome… if i had children i’d definitely play these poems for them… also was very interesting to read at the same time as songs of innocence and experience
