Children’s Laureate Joseph Coelho’s warm, elegant and meaningful poems capture both how pre- schoolers experience everyday things like going shopping and the complexities of feelings as they are felt and expressed by the very youngest listeners.
Carefully grouped under headings including All About Me, What do I Feel, and At Home these poems highlight moments familiar to all children and extend them in eloquent words that make them exciting and also safe. Nicola Killen’s illustrations match the words perfectly.
A beautifully illustrated anthology of forty-four short poems by award-winning Children's Laureate Joseph Coelho, designed to be shared together.
Blow a kiss, catch a kiss when we are apart. Blow a kiss, catch a kiss put it in your heart.
From Eye Caterpillars to The Journey Game, and from Dancing Families to Dreamtime, this collection of fun and heart-warming poems from award-winning children's poet Joseph Coelho are perfect for sharing everyday feelings and experiences.
