Pound a Poem: The Winning Entries from the National Schools Poetry Competition

The initiative encourages children aged seven to eleven to express their creativity through poetry about fruits and vegetables, all while supporting Cancer Research UK. Participants pay a pound to enter, with proceeds funding research into children's cancers. The project garnered significant media attention and celebrity endorsements, including from Maureen Lipman and Jacqueline Wilson. This collection features the finalists' poems alongside contributions from notable supporters, offering a delightful mix of humor and thought-provoking verses that aim to inspire and entertain.
