When We Were Very Young

Reach for this book when you want to slow down and reconnect with the whimsical, unhurried logic of early childhood. It is the perfect antidote to a busy day, offering a rhythmic sanctuary where the smallest things, like a beetle in a jar or the way stairs feel underfoot, are treated with profound importance. Through these verses, you are inviting your child into a world where their imagination is the primary architect of reality. This collection of 44 poems captures the essence of being small in a big world. From the first appearance of Winnie-the-Pooh to the rhythmic marching of the Buckingham Palace guards, the verses explore themes of independence, wonder, and the quiet comfort of home. It is ideally suited for children aged 2 to 8, serving as both a soothing bedtime ritual for toddlers and a delightful vocabulary builder for young readers who will appreciate the clever wordplay and British charm.
