Product Description

A beautiful collection of poems about family.

This collection of poetry by Lorraine Marwood focuses on family: holidays, siblings, school life, relatives and play. Whether she is describing the joys of a holiday at the beach, or the frustration of a day spent sick in bed, Lorraine’s poems capture the innocence, wonder and difficulties of growing up. This beautifully designed collection, interspersed with images and drawings, immerses the reader in family life in Australia.
