What is Daydreams and Jellybeans about?

A lively collection of poems that turns everyday moments into something surprising. Forgotten jellybeans, curious creatures, wild weather and wonderful daydreams all find a place in Alex Wharton's playful world. With a mix of rhyme, rhythm, free verse, rap and performance poetry, these poems invite children to laugh, wonder and see familiar things in new ways. Thoughtful themes of nature, friendship, identity and inclusion sit alongside plenty of silliness, making this a joyful book to read aloud or explore independently.
