Description
Meet Poppy the Pea! Poppy lives with fellow peas "in the dark and freezy degrees." She dreams of being bold and free to explore the outside world, but one irrational and overwhelming fear stands in her way. Can this sweet little pea ever be bold and break free? Join Poppy as she engages with fear, setbacks, and wise characters on her first and formative adventure! This beautifully designed pocket book is an ideal little read-aloud story for children aged 5+: with charmingly simple and quirky illustrations accompanied by playful rhyming verse and catchy refrains at the end of every page that convey a variety of memorable life lessons and discussion points. The division of the story into five short chapters also introduces emergent readers to a more structured format. 'Poppy the Pea - Oh, what a great way to be' is a timeless short tale centred around an endearing female character, with universal themes of bravery and hope that will appeal to all genders and ages.
About the Author
Farzad Sharifi Yazdi grew up in Berkhamsted, England, where he picked up his enduring nickname, Fuzz (later Dr. Fuzz), as well as his love of poetry. At fourteen, his national prize-winning poem, 'Brian's Head', was published in Britain's leading newspaper, The Times. Curiosity about a war that had distanced him from his birthplace, Iran, at the age of five, later inspired Farzad's doctorate in Geopolitics from King's College London. His first book, on Middle East rivalries and disputes, was published by Bloomsbury in 2015. Writing for children has been Farzad's long-held dream - what better way to promote mental health and international peace, subjects extremely dear to his heart. Farzad lives in London with his wife, Sarah, and cat, Maxi.
Reviews
