From the lyrical imagination of David Martin comes I Rhyme My Time, a carefully curated anthology of verse crafted expressly for young readers, brought to vivid life through the evocative illustrations of the celebrated Robert Ingpen. The collection presents a world seen through a child's eyes — rich with wonder, nature, and the rhythmic pulse of everyday life — guiding young minds into the enduring art of poetry with warmth, accessibility, and genuine literary craft. Martin's verse is at once playful and profound, balancing the musicality of rhyme with imagery that resonates far beyond the nursery, making this a treasury equally cherished by children and the adults who read aloud to them. Published by the esteemed Australian house The Jacaranda Press, this collaboration between Martin and Ingpen represents a landmark in Australian children's literature, uniting two of the country's most respected creative voices. Ingpen, a future winner of the Hans Christian Andersen Award, imbues each page with illustrations of quiet, contemplative beauty that perfectly complement Martin's measured, soulful lines. Together, they have produced a volume that does not merely entertain young readers — it initiates them into a lifelong love of language, leaving one to wonder which of these poems will echo in a young reader's memory for decades to come.
