The man in the meme is Michael Rosen, a famous British children’s book writer who has written about 140 books. He’s known as “nice granddad” in China. Michael Rosen was born in Middlesex, the UK in 1946. His parents were both teachers. Michael Rosen started writing poems about people he knew when he was twelve years old. Michael Rosen is busy with the teaching of writing and the reading of literature (文学作品) in schools. He visits schools to encourage children with his love for books and poems. He is one of the first poets to make visits to schools around the UK and the world. He is also one of the first poets to write about his own childhood (童年) experiences and to write them in the language children actually use. However, life hasn’t always treated Rosen well. Eddie, his second son, died at the age of 18. Rosen couldn’t forget how he felt. The death of his son was the inspiration (灵感) for Michael Rosen’s Sad Book.
