A compilation of delightfully illustrated, darkly humorous verses satirizing the absurdities of the Trump Administration and American society today, these poems are a poignant take on current politics, race, gender, climate, media, and culture. It may look like a book for the nursery-but it’s not.
The Perfect Gift Book
With facts and historical context throughout, these provocative verses will leave readers cringing, laughing, outraged and inspired.
Shining a spotlight on everything from ‘pussy-grabbing’ to Black Lives Matter, COVID-19, neo-Nazis, migrant caravans, climate change inaction, opioid addiction, Russian interference, impeachment, the Me Too movement, Twitter feuds, school shootings, fake news, and more.
Prefect for fans of ‘Dumpty’ by John Lithgow; ‘Whose Boat is This Boat?’ by The Late Show Staff, ‘Go The F**k To Sleep’ by Adam Mansbach; and ‘The Donald J. Trump Presidential Twitter Library’ by The Daily Show With Trevor Noah.
Nursery Rhymes for Troubled Times will appeal to progressive readers following politics, social issues and news; voters interested in the 2020 elections; readers who enjoy humor, satire, and witty word-play; those who grew up with Mother Goose including Baby Boomers; readers who like accessible, open-anywhere-and-read gift books.
