autobiographical poetry

"Author and poet Nikki Grimes explores the truth of a harrowing childhood in a compelling and moving memoir in verse"--OCLC.

"Michael Rosen and Sir Quentin Blake join forces for a . . . new collection, focusing on migration and displacement. Michael's poems are divided into four: in the first series, he draws on his childhood as part of a first-generation Polish family living in London; in the second, on his perception of the War as a young boy; in the third, on his 'missing' relatives and the Holocaust; and in the fourth, and final, on global experiences of migration. By turns charming, shocking and heart-breaking, this is an anthology with a story to tell and a powerful point to make: 'You can only do something now'"--BTCat.
