The Book Of Upside Down Thinking Gift Book
A rhyming wit & wisdom book with a clever twist
Description
A collection of wise and witty rhymes that challenge our view of the world presented in a beautiful hardback gift book.
This is a magical collection of verse written in Morocco and inspired by traditional folk tales and stories from the Near and Middle East, many dating back as far as the eleventh century. The beautifully designed gift book features colourful hand drawn tile illustrations alongside Brian’s original poems, which show the world from a different and unexpected perspective.
The Book Of Upside Down Thinking makes a thought-provoking and heartwarming gift for friends, family or as a treat to yourself. It’s sure to have a wide-ranging appeal and is a perfect stocking filler at Christmas time.
Brian features as a guest on our blog, giving an insight into the inspiration behind The Book Of Upside Down Thinking here.
Made with paper & love, from you to me.
Why we love it
We love the fact that this deluxe poetry book is the right way up even when it’s upside down! The colourful Moroccan tiles that pepper the really witty rhymes make this an enlightening joy to read.
