When Poems fall from the Sky, published in association with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, is written by acclaimed poet Zaro Weil and illustrated by rising star, Junli Song. Zaro and Junli's first book, Cherry Moon, received widespread praise and admiration for its beautiful poetry and stunning illustrations. The poems, story-poems, raps, rhymes, haiku and little plays inside this fantastical anthology about nature are a riot of imagination, humour and joy. In exquisitely illustrated full colour pages trees, birds, animals, rivers, flowers, mountains and insects each share their own magical stories. And the stories they tell, the 'poems' that fall from the sky, subtly and powerfully illuminate our hope and collective role as guardians of our earth. Original, inspiring and intimate - When Poems Fall from the Sky celebrates the marriage of science and poetry.

Zaro Weil lives in southern France with her husband, two sheepdogs, alongside a host of birds, insects, badgers, wild boars, crickets, donkeys, goats, hares and loads more. She has been a lot of things; dancer, theater director, actress, poet, playwright, educator, quilt collector, historian, and author and publisher. Zaro's previous collection, Firecrackers and Cherry Moon, were widely praised and lauded for their brilliant writing and their sumptuous production and design. Junli Song is an artist and storyteller with a rather unusual background, having previously studied economics and international development at the University of Chicago and then the University of Oxford, respectively - completing an MA in Children's Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art in 2018. This is her second book with Zaro; Cherry Moon published in 2019, was widely acclaimed for its brilliant poetry and beautiful illustrations.
