Damon is convinced that writing poetry is not for him, he’s just not that creative! With time running out to write a poem for homework, he gets in a spin. He turns to his family for help but they’re all too busy. It’s down to him alone … can he do it?
Joshua Seigal, Illustrated by Rebecca Burgess, Prepared for publication by Collins Big Cat
I wrote the story of Damon because I know what it feels like to struggle with ideas, and I wanted to communicate that this is OK. I also wanted to show how ideas and creativity can come when you least expect it, and that once the initial fear has been overcome, getting creative can be very fun!
