Rhymes for the Schoolbag

What could be more exciting than the start of a new school year? With a cactus tucked under one arm, a school bell ringing and books to dive into, there’s plenty to look forward to. From the pleasures of language and the mysteries of maths to class photos, birthday celebrations and safely reflective journeys to and from school, every school day brings something to discover.

In his characteristically playful and witty rhymes, Ilmar Trull captures the joys, absurdities and little challenges of school life, turning everyday moments into wonderfully entertaining poetry.
