Little Lives of Aegina: Poems of Curiosity, Courage, and Escape

Inspired by real events on the Greek island of Aegina, these poems invite readers into the surprising lives of the animals that share our world.

Meet Tito the rabbit as he wrestles with an impossible dilemma; a skink that escapes both cat and man through Earth's narrow gate; a curious cat trapped in a chimney; hooded crows drifting through light and wind above the orchards; and the much-loved community cats of Kypseli, each with its own habits, rivalries, and charms.

By turns amusing, suspenseful, affectionate, and thought-provoking, these poems explore curiosity, instinct, resilience, companionship, and the small dramas of everyday existence. Though written in language accessible to younger readers of reading age and upwards, they also offer older readers gentle reflections on mortality, freedom, belonging, and what it means to be alive.

Perfect for animal lovers of all ages, Little Lives of Aegina celebrates the wonder to be found in the ordinary creatures around us, reminding us that even the smallest lives may have something to teach us about our own.
