Take Off Your Brave

A very special collection of poems by a four-year-old author, introduced by Kate Clanchy and illustrated with wit and whimsy by Yasmeen Ismail.\r\n\r\nEverybody has love. \r\nEven baddies. \r\n\r\nThe poems in this book are uniquely memorable - in large part, because they came from a four-year-old. Nadim is the latest discovery of award-winning poet Kate Clanchy, who shared a few of his best poems alongside the work of her prodigious teenage students on Twitter. They met with a warm and fascinated response, which resulted in this debut collection: Take Off Your Brave. \r\n\r\nNow accompanied by Yasmeen Ismails boisterous paintings, Nadims words beautifully capture how a four-year-old sees the world. With their rainbows, glitter and magical boxes, his poems sometimes feels HUGE with imagination and curiosity ... but when it comes to bedtime and cuddles with Mum, Nadims surroundings shrink to become cosy and familiar. Read together, his poems make for an anthology like no other - and a book to treasure.
