Out and About

By Shirley Hughes

A beautiful first collection of poems by two-time Kate Greenaway Medal-winner Shirley Hughes.

In this wonderful collection of poems, Katie and her little brother Olly romp through the changing seasons, taking pleasure in the different elements and weather conditions – sunshine, wind, rain, mist, snow… From the joys of the seaside to the miseries of the sickbed, this exuberant volume captures to perfection the world of childhood.
