Simon Lamb

World Poetry Day Event with Simon Lamb on A Passing On of Shells

To celebrate World Poetry Day on the 21st of March, we have a fantastic upcoming event with Simon Lamb, the author of a stunning debut collection of poetry. The book has fifty luminous poems, each written in exactly fifty words, and is fully illustrated by the beloved former Children's Laureate Chris Riddell.

With subjects ranging from family, identity, and growing up, to the need for hope, the wonder of nature, and the very concept of poetry itself, Simon offers his poems as small nuggets of wisdom, warmth and wit to help readers of all ages navigate their lives.

Complementing the always-present three-dimensional sense of drama and interaction with the reader, every poem is gifted its own double page spread, each one exquisitely illustrated by Chris Riddell, with his distinctive insight and flair adding new layers of meaning and joy to these already magical poems.

Make sure to not miss out on what will be a brilliant night.
