Anyone, young or old, who enjoys a rhyme and would like to know more about how the human body works will enjoy these engaging poems!
They are particularly ideal for key-stage 2 children aged 6 - 11yrs, and have real educational value, tying in with the many occasions human biology appears in the primary school curriculum.
Dr. Hannah Weston-Simons is an NHS GP with an English degree from her pre-medicine days. She is passionate about children's literature, and has always loved poetry.
Hannah believes that any topic is more interesting in rhyme, and has thoroughly enjoyed bringing our internal organs to life to help children understand how their bodies work.
Dr Weston-Simons is happy to do primary school visits to run interactive sessions on anatomy and human biology for kids, with some organ poems thrown in.

Hannah's assembly totally inspired all of our children. They loved the illustrated poems and the interactive nature of the session. Her poetry seamlessly combines real, applicable science with fun rhythm and clever rhyme, helping the children to understand the ins and outs of our amazing bodies. The book of poems is a must-have for any classroom from Key Stage One, all the way up to A-Level!
