Michael Rosen's Sad Book

Product Information

Life lessons on going under, getting over it, and getting through it,” reads the subtitle of celebrated children’s writer Michael Rosen’s new book. It’s a reference to We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, one of his best-loved works. Part memoir, part self-help manual, Rosen’s latest publication considers what it is to get better, “what it means, and how we do it.” Even though I’m known for writing poety for children, I wouldn’t say I had any exceptional skill for being around them – I never considered myself any better than any other parent. In fact, when I was younger, I didn’t believe I was the kind of person who would have children. In the mid-1970s, I was walking around in plimsolls and a T-shirt, trying to sell a poem or two, living frugally with no car and no job. I figured that any fatherly feelings I had I would work out with my brother’s kids. That’s no reflection on whoever I was with, it was just what felt responsible. But by the time Joe arrived, I was amazed. He was such a person from the moment he was born. I used to carry him around in a pouch and it was absolutely wonderful. to support reading of individual poems – the image can act as a visual reminder of topics, themes or narratives for students while they are completing work on poems;

Was it difficult, revisiting past traumas? “Actually, no. I get a buzz out of writing, in particular writing things so that they feel the way they were – the posh word for that is authentic. So even when I’m writing about something utterly awful, like pulling Eddie out of the bed when he had rigor mortis, so that his arm was in the air – that is a scene that has played in front of my eyes over and over again.
