THE STORY

About the book

Themes

Life Transitions

LITTLE TALES is a fun, whimsical collection of poetry for younger readers and the young at heart.

LITTLE TALES weaves magic and folklore with slices of school and family life, told with a cosiness and lightness reminiscent of bedtime stories. It also explores the confusion of being not quite a teenager, but not a small child either, and the expectations and challenges that go along with that stage of life.

Some poems play with silliness and humour, while others wield the sharpness of reality. Above all, LITTLE TALES maintains a soft touch of escapism to ignite imaginations and shed the seriousness of intense days.

The Noise

It rumbles through bones, teeth, and jaws,

down to the ground, past all six floors.

Shaking the doors, cracking the windows,

disturbing old dears engaged in their bingo.

They try and try to stop The Noise,

offering food, books, and new toys,

but the little swaddled ball that resides at its core

simply widens its mouth and screeches some more.
