Give Yourself a Hug
Illustrated by Kim Harley
A bright, zingy collection of poems -some sensitive, some alive with perceptive observations and some painting the most succinct word-pictures imaginable. I loved the eight words of sheer magic comparing the daffodils to yellow swans. Now why hadn't I thought of that? The rhyme and rhythm of 'My Gran Visits England' invites accents and a discussion about differences and similarities. A fabulously rich resource.
