Valerie Godwin, a local author, has published a book of children poems at her first attempt. It was accepted in March and published in June of this year. The book, of fifty-six poems, is mainly aimed at girls between the ages of five and eleven. All the poems, which have a magic of their own, are based upon experiences with her own children and grandchildren.
Copies are avaialble from local bookshops.
Valerie writes poetry specifically for children as she believes that they are the poets of the future. Valerie, who lives in Emsworth, is currently working on her second book.
