JUST FOR YOU is a delightful book of poems which made me feel they were written JUST FOR ME.
I enjoyed reading about the author’s early childhood days, which evolved into her working life, and three successful careers.
The Foreword written by Shiju H Pallithazheth was brilliant and provided a great introduction to the book.
The love poems written by the guest poets of her Literary Forum were also outstanding.
Last but not least, the fabulous book cover caught my eye and that’s why I picked it up to read.… (mer)

This is a wonderfully touching and often funny memoir of a dog called Spikey, who was owned by the author of this story.
It is a quick read, but that doesn't mean there is not time for build-up or effective use of pacing.
Basically, anyone who have ever owned a pet (or been owned by pet) will understand that for some reason, we were bound to be part of their lives. As animals generally live a shorter life than us as humans, it makes their presence all the more special. I also believe that if one does not have children of their own, or cannot have children for whatever reason, that a dog or a cat, or indeed any pet, can be elevated to a very special and unique status in their lives.
The story is clever and really gives you an insight into what this special dog thought about those around them, as well as their own worries and fears about things and situations they did not understand.
If you are an animal lover, or you appreciate that life is passing every single moment, or you believe that pets are not just pets - something to be discarded when they die, you will take something from this book. I will not say you will enjoy it - it hits home on many points that if you lost a pet recently, it may not be the time to read it. But the important thing to recognise is that this is a story with a heart as big as the dog at its centre, and if that doesn't convince you to read it today, nothing wil… (mer)

A galaxy is a huge collection of gas, dust, and billions of stars and their solar systems, all held together by gravity. Imagine a galaxy of poems that focus on the stars, the weather, family life, the importance of books and many other interesting topics. Each poem will stretch your imagination and children’s imagination into many places and taking them on many different journeys that will help adults and children enjoy the wonderful world of poems.
What would we be without our beautiful Sun to warm us up on a cold day or just feel the rays shining in all its glory? Author Brenda Mohammed takes us inside the rays of the sun and yet we know that there are some that she does not please but to me her radiance makes me smile. Learning about the Earth is important for children and the information shared in the poem titled The Earth is invaluable. I will tell you a secret: If you read this poem you might learn whether the Earth is round or flat!
Stars are my favorite especially when they light up and sparkle in the night sky. Constellations are beautiful and stars are so precious we often wish upon them and hope what we wish for comes true.
A rainbow is so magical, and the author created a poem that helps readers visualize them and see the brilliance of the vibrant seven colors. Finally, being a reviewer the poem about Books is one of my favorites and as she states: “Books are silent friends and should be treated well.” Words can hurt, can make you smile, comfort and run. Be careful about what you say to someone. Friendships can be destroyed so the words I am sorry can change it all.… (mer)
