One thing that unites us all – across time, nations and peoples – is food. From chocolate, rice pudding and sandwiches to breakfast in bed, banana phones and the fruit of a mythical jelabi tree, A.F. Harrold has brought together a wonderful and diverse collection of poems on the topic of food.
Beautifully illustrated in full colour by rising star Katy Riddell (daughter of former Children's Laureate, Chris Riddell), this rich and delicious anthology brings together work from a broad range of poets, including the magically observant William Carlos Williams, award-winning Joseph Coelho and the inspiring Sabrina Mahfouz. Whether you're in the mood for a perfect bowl of yoghurt or a pomegranate omelette, these poems will satisfy any food craving. The perfect gift for any poetry or food lover!

'A call to arms for the next generation of eco-warriors, full of
practical ideas and activities to encourage wildlife and a love of
the natural world' - The Bookseller 'This is my pledge, my promise,
my vow, Lasting forever, starting now: I'll be a friend to nature.'
An illustrated book celebrating the natural world and ways to
appreciate it, filled with practical activities and ideas to help
wildlife and the environment on your doorstep and worldwide.
Starting with a pledge in poetic form, this book is a call to arms
for the next generation of peaceful eco warriors. Broken down into
sections of activities, each lyrically relates back to the metaphor
of being a friend to nature. The activities themselves are short,
easy, and fun, with a few more extensive projects mixed in. These
are interspersed with nature quotes, poetry, and other
thought-provoking musings, as well as pieces of simple non-fiction
information, such as the life cycle of a frog, a butterfly, a cross
section of a flowering plant, and why you should always wish on a
dandelion clock. The final section explores what nature can give
back to us in turn; that if we look after the natural world, we
will always have a friend in nature - a space to be calm, to pause
and think, to recharge, to bring us joy, amusement, and health.
