Shauna Darling Robertson

Hot off the press, a brand new collection from award-winning poet Shauna Darling Robertson.

It’s called Saturdays at the Imaginarium and it’s Shauna’s first collection of poems for children. Beautifully illustrated by Jude Wisdom, it’s all about the awesome power of the human imagination.

The book “celebrates creative thinking and encourages curiosity, revelling in the pleasure of looking at things from fresh and surprising perspectives”.

Excited? Want to dive in and hear some poems?

First up, here’s a fun, short animated film that Shauna made of one of the poems, ‘When I was Cross-Eyed’.

And if that leaves you hungry for more, head over to www.troikabooks.com/saturdays-at-the-imaginarium where you can hear Shauna read a few more poems from the book.

Still hungry? Then you’re in luck. Shauna’s new website, www.shaunadarlingrobertson.com, has more audio and video materials, along with a sneaky peek behind the scenes of the making of the book - and a bunch of creative ideas and exercises based on some more of the poems!
