Take Off Your Brave: Poems Just for You
Age 4+
Poetry
“An enchanting anthology for very young children with gorgeous illustrations.” – Guardian
Everybody has love.
Even baddies.
The poems in this book beautifully capture how a four-year-old sees the world – a world of rainbows, glitter and magical boxes; a world of nursery, hometime and cuddles with Mum. They make for joyful reading and, paired with wonderful pictures by Yasmeen Ismail, are an invitation for young readers to join in the fun... By turns funny and charming, gentle and zany, Take Off Your Brave shows that poetry is for everyone – no matter how little you are!
