It’s World Book Day today – so in honour of reading, here is my poem about it, from Being Me, my me, Laura Mucha, and Matt Goodfellow, Otter-Barry Books.
In the Heart of a Book
Liz Brownlee
I found myself a story
with a place in me to store it
I found myself a wide, new world
so set off to explore it,
I found a scary monster
plus the way to banish it
I found a pool of sadness
and the strength to manage it,
I found the dragon in my soul
learned the way to tame it
I found a new ambition
a path to take and aim it,
I found a way to rest my head
while my worries all unplug
I found a curl of comfort
where each word was a hug,
I found a web of wonders
things I dream about at night
I found a pair of magic wings
and flew into the light.
