Hou van die hond

The way the poems flow feels very natural and authentic. I wonder if the choice to keep it in free verse was to make the voice more genuine or to reflect the character's inner thoughts.

The book made me want to pick up a pen and start scribbling. I'm curious if others found themselves motivated to express their feelings through poetry after reading about the protagonist's journey.

Choosing poetry for a middle-grade story is pretty unique. I wonder what led to this decision and how it shaped the way the story unfolds.
