"As if I Couldn’t! A Collection of Poems for Small and Grown-Up Children" by Bohumila Ottova is a remarkable poetry book for all ages. I simply adore poetry like this. Each wonderful work takes the reader on a marvelous journey, opening the doors of the imagination as we discover the true beauty of the impossible. Gently breaking through the barriers of normality, these magical poems seamlessly switch from humorous to deeply touching in this whirlwind trip across the universe. My top three favorites are "As You Do", which reminds me of my favorite superhero, "When You Smile", which makes me think of someone I deeply love, and "As if I Couldn’t", which is absolutely ME spelled out across the page. The minimalist illustrations by Katarina Bikard perfectly compliment the poems, prompting the reader to look deeper as we continue on life's journey. Taken together, this delightful poetry book reminds each of us that the magic of those simple childhood days still glows within our hearts, even if we’ve forgotten about it for a little while.

Containing a whole universe of wonder within its pages, this journey to absolutely anywhere is a must-have for all who love wonderful worlds of whimsy.
