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.

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.
