A brand new collection of poetry by former Children's Laureate Michael Rosen, author of We're Going on a Bear Hunt, with illustrations by acclaimed artist Ed Vere.
There's this thing we call 
the 'chain of life'. 
It's the way we hand on 
the things we do and the things we say 
to the people we know 
and the people we meet. 
 
We may never meet  
the people who come before us on the chain, 
again,  
but we meet people 
who are next on the chain. 
Or... 
some of us write things down 
and pass things on down the chain 
to the people who read 
what we write. 
In this beautiful, funny, and moving collection of brand new poems, beloved writer and former Children's Laureate Michael Rosen shares an unforgettable series of stories, experiences and memories of his own childhood.
