Poetry Book Competition

National Poetry Day is happening on 6 October, so it’s a perfect time to brush up on your poetry skills. The theme for this year’s celebrations is The Environment, which links nicely to this week’s competition prize. When Poems Fall From the Sky is an anthology of poems published with The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. There are 28 poems written by award-winning children’s poet, Zaro Weil. Mother Nature shares dazzling poems, hilarious rhymes, timeless story-poems and heart-warming little plays with readers. From rapping fungi and magical seeds to flying wizards and ten quintillion parading bugs, every page of the book bursts with colour, mystery and sheer delight of the natural world. For your opportunity to win a copy of When Poems Fall From the Sky, answer the question below and email your full name, age, address and answer to kidsalive@salvationarmy.org.uk.
