In her full poetry collection for children, Shagufta reflects on the things that mean the most to her. Here, you’ll find poems about family, love, friendship, faith, Eid, climate change, geraniums, Bath, Bristol, the coral reef, chillies and even shoelaces.

Each individual poem is brought to life by Shagufta’s vibrant imagination, her passions and her very distinct voice. Shagufta says, ‘This is a book for young people who are trying to make sense of the world, and also for grown-ups who want to remember the magic and mayhem of childhood’.

This is the second in our ‘Troika First’ series, which features debut children’s poetry collections from strikingly new and inventive voices.
