Read by Helena Bonham Carter and Bill Nighy and illustrated by Natasha Law. Designed and conceived by former actress and mother of three Allie Esiri and writer and mother of five Rachel Kelly, the iF Poems App aims to introduce poetry to school-age children in a creative, fun way. Inspired by their own children’s love of reading (but also their incessant desire to play on the iPad) this collection will entertain as much as it educates. Ten per cent of all sales of the App will go to Save the Children’s work helping children the world over fulfill their potential.
