Sing Me a Song is a collection of 23 poems by some 16 Kenyan poets. The poems have been thoroughly assessed for level, both in terms of language and content. The generous illustrations and the notes at the end of the book should help the child to develop an early liking for poetry.. 

Published by East African Educational Publishers, Nairobi.

This a delightgful collection of short stories, plays and poems selected from a large offering submitted by Kenyan writers gathered at Naivasha in July 1989. The writers were brought together under the auspices of UNICEF to brainstorm the theme of Child Survival and Development. What emerged then, and is distilled here, is vibrant, creative and a joy to read.

There are twelve items contained here; five short stories, five poems, and two plays. Two of the pieces are in Kiswahili, in keeping with the bilingual situatiion in Kenya. All of them are meant for enjoyment. If some message of hope for the child in Kenya and beyond is gleaned from them, this is a welcome bonus.
