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.
