Poetry for Little Ones

Do you remember when the world was enormous? When a puddle was an ocean, a stick was a sword, and the space beneath the kitchen table was a castle no grown-up could enter? Through Squinted Eyes is a collection of poems written from that place - the wild, boundless kingdom of childhood imagination.

​

These poems see the world the way children do - with eyes half-closed and hearts wide open, where everything ordinary becomes an adventure waiting to happen. Where cardboard becomes armour, gardens become galaxies, and a rainy afternoon holds more possibility than a grown-up could ever understand.

​

Each poem is a small doorway back to the days when magic was not something you had to believe in because it was simply everywhere - hiding in the backyard, waiting in the wardrobe, living under the bed. These verses celebrate the brave explorers, the barefoot dreamers, and the tiny inventors who build entire worlds before dinner.

​

Through Squinted Eyes is a book for the children in our lives and for the child who still lives quietly inside every one of us. It is a reminder that wonder was never something we lost. We just forgot where we put it.

Come in. Big adventures await.
