Let In The Stars

"This powerful collection of moving, clever and funny work sends an important message that poetry writen for children must be taken seriously, must be cherished and must be made available. It is my hope that others will follow the example ... seeking out, collecting and celebrating the best new poems in beautiful books like Let in the Stars, which can be picked up and loved by the next generation of readers and writers." Carol Ann Duffy. "These poets wield rhythms, images and stories in ways that make you not only want to read the poems aloud, but pick up a pen and write your own. Monsters, magic; the scariness and joys of life; this beautifully illustrated book is for a wide age-range and will accompany any child into adulthood. So if an adult does happen to borrow it - be sure they give it back!"
