Don’t Wear It On Your Head

John’s book of children’s poems for young people of any age from 7 years and upwards, and for adults in touch with their inner children too. Vital, Funny, Challenging and Honest. Don’t let the marketing hook of the cover take away from the fact that this is real writing for real children and it shines like a beacon in the dark. It is is a celebration of the good stuff of life: who we are, love, gossip, our senses and cheese.

Don’t Wear It On Your Head was shortlisted for the Centre for Literarcy in Primary Education Poetry Award

'John Siddique's poems blast off the page into real life or they can melt as gently as a snowflake on your tongue.'

'The subtitle of this book is ‘Poems for Young People’. Make that young people of all ages, any person whose mind is open to a different view. This is a book which biffs you round the ear one moment and takes your breath away the next. There are poems here to challenge and poems to make the reader laugh out loud.'
