It Sounded Like a Good Idea... (And Other Life Lessons)

By Sadaf Amna Sarwari

It sounded Like a Good Idea... (And Other Life Lessons) is a playful, heartfelt poetry collection that embraces the hilarious, humbling, and occasionally sticky moments of growing up. Whether it's leaping before looking, laughing too loudly in class, or learning a lesson the hard way, these poems remind us that life's messes often come with meaning.

Aimed at young readers (but secretly written for anyone who's ever been a kid), this book invites everyone to laugh, reflect, and feel seen-no matter their age or background. Through humor and honesty, it celebrates the beautiful, bumbling process of becoming ourselves.
