Me and My Alien Friend: Cosmic Poems about Friendship
Ed Boxall, Ed Boxall,
Me and My Alien Friend is Ed Boxall’s first full-length collection of children’s poetry. The book is full of all sorts of friends: best friends, changing friends, absent friends, animal friends, imaginary friends and even a friend who’s a ‘Thing on a Springy String’. In the poems, friends adventure together: discovering, exploring and sharing life’s happy hills and lonely dark hollows. The ‘Alien Friend’ poem returns like a chorus throughout the book: a boy sits on the moon with his 38-toed alien friend, looking at our world from a peaceful distance, observing, thinking, dreaming. Throughout the poems and drawings friendship is gently celebrated as a universal experience that can cross every divide.
Reviews
I like this book because I saw Ed Boxall and he performed some of the poems. My Walk to School Friends is now my favourite poem.
