I found this so sweet!
It's inspired me to go seek out more books written by children to share as a teacher, to show students that you don't need to be an adult to write.

I'd love to use a poem such as 'Tell Me About a Day of the Week' , 'My Lonely Garden' or 'Scared-Sugar' with a class, let them read through and talk about it first, and then tell them who wrote it after. I think it would be a pleasant shock for them to find out that the poetry a teacher gave them was written by someone even younger than them!

Poetry is often viewed as something hard and boring and technical that children struggle with, and I think this book is a great start to dismantling that.
