Children's program featuring the poets Edward van de Vendel, Ruth Lasters Jörgen UNOM Gario and podcastmaker Sara de Monchy (of Sara's Mysteries)

"My neighbour girl is in love with me, but I'm not in love with her. What should I do?" 
"I want a pet so badly, how do I convince my parents?" 
"How do I tell my best friend that I lied to him?"

Listen to comforting and imaginative poetry or ask a question of your own to the panel of poets including Edward van de Vendel.
