This first title in a new poetry series features Ken Ward's fresh, exuberant verse and whimsical drawings for the very young and the very old.  "The appearance of this book of poetry is distinctly different! From its long, narrow shape to its lack of capitals, variety of typefaces and cute, casual line drawings, a gentle, non-conformist style is communicated. 'Kid-tested' on grade three's who loved the poems, this is a poetry book that is funny, easy-to-read and entertaining. Ken Ward's language is rich and vivid, allowing a wide range of visual imagery." - In Search of Canadian Materials  "It's imaginative, colourful and most of all just as much fun for adults as it is for children." - Halifax Chronicle-Herold

Qigong means the cultivation of life energy. It is a system of body postures, breathing, and meditation for health, spiritual development, and martial arts training. Associated with Chinese medicine, philosophy, and martial arts, it is claimed to develop life energy, known as qi. According to Taoist, Buddhist, and Confucian philosophy, qigong opens the higher realms of awareness, the true self and the development of human potential.This book describes the postures used in the once secret qigong, and mentions meditation briefly.No longer secret, Qigong is practised throughout China and in many other countries, for recreation, exercise and relaxation. Claims have been made for its effectiveness in preventive medicine and self-healing. Such claims are currently being researched and have not yet been verified.
