Funny, thought-provoking and bursting with curiosity, Wise Up! Wise Down! is a lively conversation between two internationally renowned poets, illustrated by treasured artist Satoshi Kitamura.\n\nHow can laughter be more powerful than a sword? Why do days have names but not weeks? And do pigeons ever get a craving for cake? Two friends, internationally acclaimed poets John Agard and JonArno Lawson, take us on an inspiring, hilarious and wonderous journey through poetry, asking questions and attempting answers as they discover that life really is a forever and ever adventure.
Best known for his collections of Caribbean poetry, John is also a well-known writer, anthologist and performer of poetry for children and adults. Canadian author and poet JonArno Lawson is the editor of Inside Out, an invaluable, illustrated anthology of children's poetry. A renowned children's author and illustrator whose quirky perspectives and brilliant watercolours won him the Mother Goose Award for the Most Exciting Newcomer to British Illustration 1983.
