The Poet's Backwards Tornado

25th January: What Shall We Do Today?

By: P.D. Cain

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Join Imani, Tommy, and Maya on a Magical Time-Twisting Adventure Where Everything Goes Backwards!
When a self-playing bagpipe appears on their front steps and the weather vane spins in reverse, the three young friends know they're in for an extraordinary day. Scottish poet Robert Burns materializes from a mysterious mist with an urgent plea: seven January 25th celebrations have collided into a backwards tornado, and without help, everything will stay opposite forever!

In this exciting chapter book adventure, children will:

• Solve mind-bending opposite-day puzzles where hot ice must be warmed to melt and reflections must be caught to fix reality
• Journey through a tornado museum where Florida beaches are frozen, poetry flies through the air, and fish tacos swim like birds
• Meet historical figures Robert Burns and Virginia Woolf who need creative thinking to untangle their celebrations
• Learn about Scottish traditions, creative independence, weather patterns, and more—all woven seamlessly into an action-packed quest
• Discover that friendship, curiosity, and knowledge can solve even the most backwards problems
