What a wonderful collection of poetry, all reflecting themes of how one can be brave, gather courage and face your own fears.
Written in all sorts of structures, Coelho encourages the reader to be brave and try to write their own poems – allowing that anything goes in the structure of poems, so there’s no need to feel bound by rhymes or structures.
The poems here cover all sorts of activities and issues – from diving into the swimming pool, making friends, rollercoasters, to reading to the class amongst others. Each poem is prefaced with a paragraph explaining why it was written and what makes the particular activity courageous.
I can see this collection being used in many homes and classrooms as a means of building confidence and speaking skills, whilst exploring how language can be used. Coelho has a mission to help children enjoy poetry and use it as a tool for creativity – this book will certainly foster that.
