...and in fact it would take you a year to get through this sumptuous, beautiful and luxuriously presented book. "I am the Seed that Grew the Tree" with poems selected by Fiona Waters, and illustrations from blog favourite Frann Preston-Gannon, this is a real treat in book form.
Stretching across an entire year's worth of amazing verse for children, each selection marks the passing of the seasons, and all the natural events that occur throughout mother nature's extremely busy month-by-month changes as they subtly blend into one another.
Fiona has hand-picked an incredible collection of poems, some quirky and fun, and some with a more serious tone to encourage children to begin their own journey of discovery, not just on how amazing nature can be but how beautiful our language is when it flows in verse and rhyme.

| A book that starts with a short and sweet verse... |
 |
| ...and continues with each date of the year offering a new poem to enjoy by many, many of the greatest poets ever to put pen to paper. Fantastic! |

| We loved "Squishy Words (to be said when wet) very much! |
Absolutely incredible, and definitely not to be missed.
