Forwards Always

This book is a toy, a script, a game and a puzzle. It is a collection of very silly poems, and how you choose to make sense of them is entirely up to you.

'A delightful and idiosyncratic collection.' – School Library Journal

Silly, heartfelt, nonsense poems to be read aloud with friends and loved ones.

I’m having jelly for tea
I’m having jelly for tea
It’s not even my birthday
But I’m having jelly for tea

Forwards Always is a collection of poems to be read aloud. The poems are activated through performance and play. There are daft poems, quiet poems, wonky poems and dancing poems.

The book is a puzzle. Make sense of it together, listen to it, take turns, hold it upside down and wear it as a hat. Have fun and find your own way forwards.
