“Teachers sometimes ask me, ‘what's the best way to get children writing poems?’, and one of the first things I suggest is to create a 'poetry-friendly classroom'. It’s about making a classroom a place where poems are welcome. It’s about pleasure, stimulation, feeling, curiosity, wonder and fun and children finding their own voice.”
Michael Rosen, Children's Laureate
