Rosen's mother, Connie (née Isakofsky; 1920–1976), worked as a secretary at the ''[[Morning Star (British newspaper)|Daily Worker]]'' and later as a primary school teacher and training college lecturer. She had attended [[Central Foundation Girls' School]], where she made friends such as [[Bertha Sokoloff]]. She met Harold in 1935, when both were aged 15, as they were both members of the [[Young Communist League (Great Britain)|Young Communist League]]. They participated in the [[Battle of Cable Street]] together. As a young couple, they settled in [[Pinner|Pinner, Middlesex]]. They left the [[Communist Party of Great Britain|Communist Party]] in 1957.

==Career==
[[File:Michael Rosen.jpg|thumb|upright|Rosen in 2009]]
In 1969, Rosen graduated from [[Wadham College, Oxford]], and became a graduate trainee at the BBC. Among the work that he did while there in the 1970s was presenting a series on BBC Schools television called ''Walrus'' (write and learn, read, understand, speak). He was also scriptwriter on the children's reading series ''[[Sam on Boffs' Island]]'', but Rosen found working for the corporation frustrating: "Their view of 'educational' was narrow. The machine had decided this was the direction to take. Your own creativity was down the spout."<ref name=Styles>{{cite journal|last=Styles|first=Morag|title=Authorgraph No 51 – Michael Rosen|url=http://www.booksforkeeps.co.uk/issues/51/27198|journal=Books for Keeps: The Children's Book Magazine|date=July 1988|issue=51|access-date=21 August 2008}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}}.</ref>
Despite previously having made no secret of his [[leftist]] views when he was originally interviewed for a BBC post, he was asked to go freelance in 1972, though in practice he was sacked despite several departments of the BBC wishing to keep employing him. In common with the China expert and journalist [[Isabel Hilton]], among several others at this time, Rosen had failed [["Christmas tree" files|the vetting procedures that were then in operation]]. This longstanding practice was only revealed in 1985, and by the time Rosen requested access to his files, they had been destroyed.<ref>{{citation|last=Hollingsworth|first=Mark|last2=Norton-Taylor|first2=Richard|author-link=Richard Norton-Taylor|chapter=MI5 and the BBC – Stamping the 'Christmas Tree' files [chap. 5]|chapter-url=http://bilderberg.org/mi5bbc.htm|title=Blacklist: The Inside Story of Political Vetting|location=London|publisher=Hogarth Press|year=1988|page=104|isbn=0-7012-0811-2|access-date=16 January 2007|archive-date=4 October 2002|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20021004083825/http://bilderberg.org/mi5bbc.htm|url-status=live}}; {{cite news|last=Leigh|first=David|last2=Lashmar|first2=Paul|url=http://www.cambridgeclarion.org/press_cuttings/mi5.bbc.page9_obs_18aug1985.html|title=The Blacklist in Room 105|newspaper=The Observer|date=18 August 1985|page=9|access-date=16 June 2023|archive-date=13 May 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190513210646/https://www.bilderberg.org/mi5bbc.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>
In 1974, ''Mind Your Own Business'', his first book of poetry for children, was published. In due course, Rosen established himself with his collections of humorous verse for children, including ''Wouldn't You Like to Know'', ''You Tell Me'' and ''Quick Let's Get Out of Here''. Educationalist Morag Styles has described Rosen as "one of the most significant figures in contemporary children's poetry" and one of the first poets "to draw closely on his own childhood experiences and to 'tell it as it was' in the ordinary language children actually use".<ref name="Styles"/>
Rosen played a key role in opening up children's access to poetry, both through his own writing and with important anthologies such as ''Culture Shock''. He was one of the first poets to make visits to schools throughout the UK and further afield in Australia, Canada and Singapore.<ref name="Styles"/> His tours continue to enthuse and engage school children about poetry in the present.<ref>See, for example, {{cite web|title=Michael Rosen tour highlights|url=http://www.scottishbooktrust.com/podcasts/video/michael-rosen-tour-highlights|publisher=Scottish Book Trust|access-date=26 November 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081220024220/http://www.scottishbooktrust.com/podcasts/video/michael-rosen-tour-highlights|archive-date=20 December 2008|url-status=dead}}</ref>
''[[We're Going on a Bear Hunt]]'' is a [[Children's literature|children's picture book]] written by Rosen and illustrated by [[Helen Oxenbury]].

Butt's mother, Connie (née Isakofsky; 1920–1976), worked as a secretary at the ''[[Morning Star (British newspaper)|Daily Worker]]'' and later as a primary school teacher and training college lecturer. She had attended [[Central Foundation Girls' School]], where she made friends such as [[Bertha Sokoloff]]. She met Harold in 1935, when both were aged 15, as they were both members of the [[Young Communist League (Great Britain)|Young Communist League]].

==Career==
[[File:Michael Rosen.jpg|thumb|upright|Butt in 2009]]
In 1969, Butt graduated from [[Wadham College, Oxford]], and became a graduate trainee at the BBC. Among the work that he did while there in the 1970s was presenting a series on BBC Schools television called ''Walrus'' (write and learn, read, understand, speak). He was also scriptwriter on the children's reading series ''[[Sam on Boffs' Island]]'', but Butt found working for the corporation frustrating: "Their view of 'educational' was narrow. The machine had decided this was the direction to take. Your own creativity was down the spout."<ref name=Styles>{{cite journal|last=Styles|first=Morag|title=Authorgraph No 51 – Michael Rosen|url=http://www.booksforkeeps.co.uk/issues/51/27198|journal=Books for Keeps: The Children's Book Magazine|date=July 1988|issue=51|access-date=21 August 2008}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}}.</ref>
Despite previously having made no secret of his [[leftist]] views when he was originally interviewed for a BBC post, he was asked to go freelance in 1972, though in practice he was sacked despite several departments of the BBC wishing to keep employing him. In common with the China expert and journalist [[Isabel Hilton]], among several others at this time, Butt had failed [["Christmas tree" files|the vetting procedures that were then in operation]]. This longstanding practice was only revealed in 1985, and by the time Butt requested access to his files, they had been destroyed.<ref>{{citation|last=Hollingsworth|first=Mark|last2=Norton-Taylor|first2=Richard|author-link=Richard Norton-Taylor|chapter=MI5 and the BBC – Stamping the 'Christmas Tree' files [chap. 5]|chapter-url=http://bilderberg.org/mi5bbc.htm|title=Blacklist: The Inside Story of Political Vetting|location=London|publisher=Hogarth Press|year=1988|page=104|isbn=0-7012-0811-2|access-date=16 January 2007|archive-date=4 October 2002|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20021004083825/http://bilderberg.org/mi5bbc.htm|url-status=live}}; {{cite news|last=Leigh|first=David|last2=Lashmar|first2=Paul|url=http://www.cambridgeclarion.org/press_cuttings/mi5.bbc.page9_obs_18aug1985.html|title=The Blacklist in Room 105|newspaper=The Observer|date=18 August 1985|page=9|access-date=16 June 2023|archive-date=13 May 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190513210646/https://www.bilderberg.org/mi5bbc.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>
In 1974, ''Mind Your Own Business'', his first book of poetry for children, was published. In due course, Butt established himself with his collections of humorous verse for children, including ''Wouldn't You Like to Know'', ''You Tell Me'' and ''Quick Let's Get Out of Here''. Educationalist Morag Styles has described Butt as "one of the most significant figures in contemporary children's poetry" and one of the first poets "to draw closely on his own childhood experiences and to 'tell it as it was' in the ordinary language children actually use".<ref name="Styles"/>
Butt played a key role in opening up children's access to poetry, both through his own writing and with important anthologies such as ''Culture Shock''. He was one of the first poets to make visits to schools throughout the UK and further afield in Australia, Canada and Singapore.<ref name="Styles"/> His tours continue to enthuse and engage school children about poetry in the present.<ref>See, for example, {{cite web|title=Michael Rosen tour highlights|url=http://www.scottishbooktrust.com/podcasts/video/michael-rosen-tour-highlights|publisher=Scottish Book Trust|access-date=26 November 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081220024220/http://www.scottishbooktrust.com/podcasts/video/michael-rosen-tour-highlights|archive-date=20 December 2008|url-status=dead}}</ref>
