Award-winning Children’s Poetry Book event !

“Emma’s poems are full of life and laughs, bubbling with music and wisdom and silliness and jokes and cute animals. She’s a great performer of her work and the book is crammed with tips to help the reader become a performer too.”
A.F.Harrold – Bloomsbury Children’s Poet and has had his work on BBC Radio 4, Radio 3 and BBC7
“A delightful collection for children and grown ups to enjoy together.”

Come and join in the fun at Birmingham Waterstones 2pm on Saturday 24th September!! 

A free one hour long event in which Emma Purshouse will be performing poems from her smash-hit book  I once knew a Poem who wore a Hat

Emma – as many of you know is a wonderful poet and performer of both children’s and adult poetry. She has run numerous and varied workshops in schools and elsewhere all around the West Midlands.

If you have never seen her – you and your children (recommended age 6 to 11 years) will be laughing, gasping and joining in!

If you have seen her – well, you know what I mean…

Cath – is a hidden gem of an illustrator who has created numerous wonderful characters in this her first book. She will be drawing during the event…

I once Knew a Poem who Wore a Hat has won this year’s Rubery Award for Poetry! Beating adult and children’s poetry collections from around the world.

It is a rather special book – it will help any primary school child, and teacher with learning and reciting poetry (now a compulsory part of the school curriculum)- and the joy within its pages means it will make a wonderful (dare I say it?) Christmas Present!!

And I’ll be there too… I can’t wait! Nadia x
