Chapter 12 | Even Stevens | STORY | Kids' Poems and Stories With Michael Rosen

A winner from the children's laureate, popular poet and performer Michael Rosen – a must for all football fans.

Wayne Travis and his mates may not be the greatest footballers in the world but the happy, multi-cultural team of all ages, both sexes and every permutation of colour and faith, certainly knows how to enjoy the great game.

But when they are drawn in the first round of the F.A. Cup, things suddenly start to get serious.

Who is Michael Rosen?
Michael Rosen started writing as a teenager, when his mother needed some poems for Radio programs she was making.

While at college, he wrote a play which was staged at the Royal Court theatre in London. Rosen's first book was published in 1974, and he is one of Britain's leading children's poets.

Michael Rosen launched the National Year of Literacy project, which encouraged children to help produce an Anthology to be used during the Literacy Hour in primary schools. Children ages 4-11 were invited to submit poems and illustrations featuring their favourite tree. Rosen also led the final judging sessions to decide which submissions would be included.
