Borrowed this book from my lil' sista who is in Form 4.

This book is a compilation of 17 poems about family relationships, cultures, choral poem and classical poems. It's entertaining to read because this book is colourful and graphical. My favs are 'What Dads do' by Judith Viorst, 'The Secret Brother' by Elizabeth Jennings, 'Eleven years old' by Dionne Brand, 'Volcano' by Mary Green and 'Haircut Rap' by Valerie Brown.
