Description
Welcome to the wild and wicked words of Benjamin Zephaniah. You’ll find loads of cool people who make up our world in this rapping, happening hip-hop collection. From the South Pole to Mongolia and the Himalayas, this is a real world tour of poems about people and places, cultures and nationalities across our planet.
Includes poems about Inuits, Celts, the history of Britain, Maories, the Dalai Lama, the North and South Poles, and much more – a rhyming round-the-world trip.
Poems that bounce up from the page and demand to be read, rapped, sung and hip-hopped aloud – Independent on Sunday
