Me and My Alien Friend: Cosmic Poems about Friendship

Me and My Alien Friend is Ed Boxalls first full-length collecti on of childrens poetry. The book is full of all sorts of friends: best friends, changing friends, absent friends, animal friends, imaginary friends and even a friend whos a Thing on a Springy String. In the poems, friends adventure together: discovering, exploring and sharing lifes happy hills and lonely dark hollows. The Alien Friend poem returns like a chorus throughout the book: a boy sits on the moon with his 38-toed alien friend, looking at our world from a peaceful distance, observing, thinking, dreaming. In poems and drawings, friendship is gently celebrated as a universal experience that can cross every divide.
