    About this ebook

    The anthology, Growing, covers a wide range of themes celebrating the process of growing up. Charlene Erasmus recognises that children need to play, laugh and have fun, but also deal with various life events and experiences. Reading poetry allows children to explore an assortment of emotions. This collection of poems encourages children to think and feel and therefore creates a safe place in which to learn about the world.
