I found satisfaction in writing a children's book that I thought children would enjoy. This book makes reading poetry interesting and easy for children. There are several subjects that give information and understanding of the everyday things around us that people take for granted. As I looked around, I noticed the things in nature... our bodies, the seasons, as well as animals. I observed the things in nature from morning to night. There are not many books printed with poetry for children. All of these topics are enjoyable to read because of the rhyming words throughout the pages. I hope you will receive as much pleasure from reading this book as I did from writing it. My hope is that you will be inspired to write your own poetry in the near future.

The UK is experiencing a housing crisis unlike any other. Homelessness is on the increase and more people are at the mercy of landlords due to unaffordable housing. Place and Identity: Home as Performance highlights that the meaning of home is not just found within the bricks and mortar; it is constructed from the network of place, space and identity and the negotiation of conflict between those – it is not a fixed space but a link with land, ancestry and culture. This book fuses philosophy and the study of home based on many years of extensive research. Richardson looks at how the notion of home, or perhaps the lack of it, can affect identity and in turn the British housing market. This book argues that the concept of ‘home’ and physical housing are intrinsically linked and that until government and wider society understand the importance of home in relation to housing, the crisis is only likely to get worse. This book will be essential reading for postgraduate students whose interest is in housing and social policy, as well as appealing to those working in the areas of implementing and changing policy within government and professional spaces.
