I wrote this book to shine a light on a variety of poetic styles, song writing and writing raps, and how they all bloom from the same place. The book encourages collaboration, empowering readers to tell their own stories. It's a small book that sings brightly off the page and many of the ideas within this book have found themselves onto the stage in collaboration with the wonderful BALLET CYMRU brought to music by the brilliant @frankmoonmusic and @bevleeharling - it's a celebration of creativity, joy, imagination and self expression. Thanks to the wonderful librarians for recognising the book's potential with this nomination.
Alex is delighted to be collaborating with Ballet Cymru for an extraordinary adaptation of his poetry.

An outstanding ballet aimed at the young and young at heart with breath-taking dancers and music from international composer Frank Moon and Bev Lee Harling.
