In January 2016, a young girl of nine was asked by her mother, “What’s your New Year resolution?” Excited at the thought, she responded, “Can we discuss this, Mom?” After the discussion came out a list of twenty interesting things she could do.

Of the many things on the list, one was to write one poem every month. The little girl started writing, and as she wrote her initial few poems, she started enjoying it, and yes, she certainly did not stop at twelve poems. Her love for poetry kept growing every week, and she wrote fifty-two poems over fifty-two weekends of the year!

This book is a collection of those poems—poems that are funny, scary, mystical, hilarious, thoughtful, inspiring, wishful, naughty, conversational, introspective, and relatable across age groups! The use of language is simple yet stimulating. At the end of each poem is a personalized footnote by Anoushka explaining the rhyming scheme and technique used and her own thoughts behind writing the particular poem. 

Once Upon a Verse is the journey of a young girl discovering a hidden talent. It is an inspiration to millions of children out there to find their calling. But more than anything, it is life as seen and experienced by a child!
