Poignant and judiciously chosen language paints vivid pictures of a range of scenes and experiences, such as the tingling excitement of watching a <i>Meteor Shower</i> or watching the Autumn leaves fall In <i>November</i> [âŚ] In a world full of noise, rush and busyness, this beautiful collection encourages us to stop and look at the world around us, taking in the small details with a poetâs eye.
- Charlotte Hacking, Books for Keeps
This stunning collection of poems is a delightful celebration of nature. [âŚ] This is certainly a collection to inspire children to write their own poems.
BookTrust
The whole book is a triumph of expression â each art fertilises the other and produces something more than their pairing. The poems are wonderful â with vivid language and wordplay, wit and imagination, they do not talk down to their young audience and each poem is imaginative and multifaceted enough to engage an adult audience also.
