My Heart is a Poem poetry about feelings

This stunning collection of poems explores and celebrates feelings of all kinds, from uncontainable excitement to sadness, from embarrassment to love. Children will easily recognise these emotions and the situations in which they arise – such as riding a bicycle or feeling frustrated over homework. There are 20 poems in this book and each poem captures a different feeling in a unique, accessible way. Some rhyme, many don’t. All will speak to the child reader and show them that they are not alone when they feel a certain way. 

There are 20 different poets in this anthology, and four different illustrators, all with a biography at the back. The book is large format like a picture book, and illustrated beautifully in full colour. The vivid colours and expressive images perfectly reflect the mood of each poem, combining to create a powerful impact on the reader. This is a collection to read aloud, and to dip into alone when in a thoughtful mood.

Mae'r casgliad trawiadol hwn o gerddi yn archwilio a dathlu teimladau o bob math, o gyffro i dristwch ac o annifyrrwch i gariad. Bydd plant yn adnabod yr emosiynau hyn yn hawdd a'r sefyllfaoedd lle maen nhw'n codi – fel reidio beic neu deimlo'n rhwystredig ynglŷn â gwaith cartref. Mae yna 20 cerdd – rhai yn odli, llawer sydd ddim. Bydd pob un yn dangos i'r plant sy'n darllen nad ydyn nhw ar eu pennau eu hunain pan fyddan nhw'n teimlo rhyw deimlad penodol.

Mae yna 20 bardd gwahanol a phedwar darlunydd gwahanol. Mae'r llyfr yn fformat mawr ac wedi'i ddarlunio'n hyfryd mewn lliw llawn. Mae hwn yn gasgliad i'w ddarllen yn uchel gyda'ch gilydd ac i droi ato ar eich pen eich hun.
