Page 9 - I Am The Seed

You could read the poems on your own or you could share them: you could have them read to you, or you could read them to someone else (because poems become particularly alive when they are read out loud).
You could read it from beginning to end quickly, or you could read a poem every day, every evening before you go to bed, and think about whether the things in the poem matched, or didn’t match, what you had seen that day.
You could dip into it, looking at the poem that we’ve chosen for your birthday, for example, and close the book again so you could just think about that poem. You could just look at the pictures.
You could leave it on your shelf until you are ready for it.
You could stuff it full of slips of paper to mark your favourite poems.
You could learn some of the poems in it by heart, just for you to remember, or to recite to someone you love on the morning of their birthday.
You could keep it forever.
If you enjoy it half as much as we have enjoyed making it, then we will have done what we set out to do.
