Make Magic! Do Good!

By Dallas Clayton

From self-publishing wunderkind Dallas Clayton comes a book of illustrated poems full of wisdom, wonder and whimsy.

A boy with a beard tries to stay six for ever. A frightful monster lives a million miles away, but is equally scared of you. A magic rope hangs from the sky, next to a sign saying "Give me a try". In this brightly illustrated selection of playful, often provocative poems, ideas run the gamut from stopping your lightning-fast running to help others keep up, imagining a store that sells colours never before made, or admitting you'll never know all the answers (and sleeping better at night). Following the runaway success of his self-published debut, Dallas Clayton's quirky, captivating collection makes it clear that this rising talent, whose work has evoked comparisons to Dr Seuss, Maurice Sendak and Shel Silverstein, exudes a spirit and style all his own.
