Description
Taking inspiration from everything from cat fleas to cloud gazing, FRESH is a lively collection of poems for primary school-age children, which explores starting over, the natural world, expressing your feelings and kindness. As well as the 'fun stuff', many of the poems in FRESH touch on mental health and wellbeing, covering subjects such as shifting friendships, sadness, loss, coping with worry, and being left out. Complete with stunning black and white illustrations from former UK Children's Laureate Chris Riddell.
