Unusual Poems for Unusual Kids and the Unusual Adults They Become

This collection of poems is the first complete group of children’s poetry written by teacher, director, and playwright Lowery Christopher Collins. It contains a wide variety of odd topics, all written in tight rhyming schemes. Perfect for children as young as eight, and even more perfect for older children and adults, these poems work on the level of simple stories and themes while also addressing much deeper social topics. This book contains poems about flamingos, mimes, parakeets, mermaids, braces, England, and people who smell like goats. And that’s just the surface. If you or children you care about would like read some fun, strange, rhythmic poetry, this book’s for you!
