A stunningly wide-ranging collection from a popular poet, encompassing the natural world, city life, family and belonging –suffused with magic, warmth and empathy.

I’m going to make this city green, a deep, shining green, right here where I lie I’ll make this city green.

Look out for the tree that saved a town; dip your toe in the Milky Way; sing the City Seed Song; play in Kitty Cat Street – and then come home to Belonging Street. Puzzles, riddles and jokes mix with story poems and lyrical verse to make this a magical and heart-warming collection.
