This is so beautiful, Mark! I hope it brings comfort to the children, friends and family ❤️❤️
You have done such a wonderful job, Mark, putting together this beautiful memorial for school and family. A family never forgotten. ❤️

Remembering Zayn, Amani & family. 🤍 Lovely poet & teacher Mark Bird lost two of his pupils due to the Air India crash on June the 12th this year. He collected poems from other poets including one of mine to make a beautiful tribute to Zayn, Amani & family.🕊️ @dreambeastpoems

If anyone tries these poems with little ones - children, grandchildren, children in your class or others, I'd love to hear how they went down! I've been told of a few favourites...but they're not the same ones. That's always interesting to hear. amazon.co.uk/Snap-Poems-Chi…
