If All the World were .....

Testimonials:

“Young readers are already familiar with stars such as McGough, Rosen, Ahlberg and Magee. Let us hope they will become as familiar with Joseph Coelho's work as he develops.” Books For Keeps

“The joy of this collection is the author’s ability to paint pictures with words” PoetryZone

“I can envisage his books becoming firm favourites alongside those of Michael Rosen, Kit Wright, Roger McGough, John Agard and Allan Ahlberg.”


“I’m writing for two reasons in particular. The first is that on the last day of term, our year 8s chose redrafting and writing up in neat their poems, rather than watch a DVD. Once the poetry wall had been arranged, they all had their phones out and were taking photos of their display. Never before have I seen kids willing to break the rules so flagrantly due to pride in their work- it was such a warming thing to see kids so excited, and for them to ask me whether we can study poetry after we have finished Romeo and Juliet.”

Wall of Inspiration Project – Park House School

“We had a fantastic celebration for ‘World Book Day.’ Joseph was able to work with a whole year group, varying activities as the day went on. Students were encouraged  to use their creative energy and take risks with their ideas without worrying about the end product.”

Newlands Girls’ School

“Thanks for everything it bin “wkd” make sure u do it gen”
