Bookroo's summary
Dive into a world where poems teach you to mix pancakes, bird-watch, or even scare monsters. This collection, featuring poets like Kwame Alexander and Pat Mora, invites you to explore life's playful and profound moments.

Accompanied by soft illustrations, these poems transform everyday experiences into magical adventures, encouraging readers to see the world through a lens of endless possibilities.
From the publisher
Be they practical (how to mix a pancake or how to bird-watch) or fanciful (how to scare monsters or how to be a snowflake), the poems in this book boast a flair and joy that you won’t find in any instruction manual. Poets from Kwame Alexander to Pat Mora to Allan Wolf share the way to play hard, to love nature, and to be grateful. Soft, evocative illustrations will encourage readers to look at the world with an eye to its countless possibilities.
