This slim volume is a collection of poems that address a variety of issues which will be of great interest and importance to readers, both general and academic, Indian as well as multinational. It is refreshingly free of cynicism or melancholy. Written in an interesting and interactive style, each poem has an icon or image attached to it (as a visual complement) and most of the texts carry explanatory notes for a better understanding of cross-cultural references, which is a unique feature of this volume. Readers will find it at once thoroughly enjoyable and thought-provoking, as attested by the following review comments from across the globe. • John Leong on Butterfly Effect: “... that gave me a brief history lesson on India; never thought about it in that context too; really eye-opening…!” • Freddie Robinson Jr. on No free lunch: “Very enlightening views… Powerfully expressed ..I admire and respect your intellectual honesty and bravery. I am blessed to have read your words of wisdom...” • Silent One on Identity and Difference: “Great storytelling.” • Maureen McGreavy on Catch-22: "OH sharp pen! Enthralling read!"

This book contains seven tried-and-tested creative writing projects for pupils aged 8–14. Each project is delivered through a series of workshops and enables pupils to explore a literary genre or writing style, discuss themes and topics and receive constructive feedback about their writing. The projects cover topics such as identity, cultural heritage, tolerance, empathy, morality, dreams and much more. Teachers wanting to run creative writing projects will find this book easy to follow, practical and timesaving. Each project allows students to: • explore a certain literary genre or writing style in detail • be creative and have fun while learning • think about, talk about and discuss themes and topics • receive constructive feedback about their writing • pursue their own ideas • see themselves as ‘real’ writers with a ‘real’ audience • understand that writing can be enjoyable, artistic and relaxing • experience creativity to improve their wellbeing. These ready-made projects are invaluable for teachers who are looking for new and successful creative writing projects for a range of students. They will enable teachers to immediately start making a difference to their students’ confidence and writing skills, allowing them to be as creative and imaginative as possible and use creativity as a springboard for their own writing.
