School children across Nottinghamshire worked with poet Andy Graves, illustrator Hannah Sawtell and Professor Natalie Braber of Nottingham Trent University to create dialect poetry inspired by 'lost words' of Nottinghamshire. Illustrations and selected poetry by the children became part of an exciting touring exhibition visiting library galleries across the county and a virtual exhibition. We're now delighted to also be able to share more dialect poetry and stories from the children involved - alongside more wonderful illustration - in our specially produced digital book which you can browse below.
