WINNER OF THE CLIPPA CHILDREN'S POETRY PRIZE 2022 I traveled once around the world On stars with flaming tails, And touched the colors of my dreams Along some silver trails. Look out for best friends, pancakes, and Grandad singing; discover a river dolphin, a poison dart frog and the most dangerous animal in the world; imagine a talking nose, meet the Zimbats of Zingley Dell and find the color of your dreams. This collection includes poems to make you laugh, get you thinking and fill you with wonder - from an internationally renowned poet and illustrator, working together here for the first time.
