Have fun with words and language in this bilingual, nonsense poem all about odd socks and where they may come from.
About Tracey Hammett
Tracey Hammett is an author, script writer, poet and Creative Writing tutor. She writes for children and adults. She was a member of the Southbank New Poets Collective from 2022–2023.
She has published two children’s picture books: Monsters Not Allowed! (a rhyming story illustrated by Jan McCafferty) and Bob the Dog Gets a Job (illustrated by Angie Stevens).

As a lover of language and rhyme I am delighted to be part of BookTrust Cymru’s Big Welsh Rhyme Time. As a Welsh learner it has been a real joy to write a poem that includes both Welsh and English.
