Poetry to celebrate the child.

Favourite Poems to Celebrate Babies and Children is a beautifully illustrated anthology of poetry celebrating babies, children, and childhood. It captures the magical times and memories of childhood, as well as the unconditional love a parent has for a child.

Some of our best-loved poets are featured, such as William Blake, John Betjeman, Robert Louis Stevenson, Adrian Mitchell, and WH Auden.

The poems begin in infanthood, with the joys that babies and toddlers bring as they learn to move and speak, and progress to playtime, friendships, holidays, trips, and school days.

The wonderful, endearing illustrations throughout make this the ideal book for anyone who celebrates a child in their life.
