A tender, moving and joyous story from one of our nation's premier poets, John Agard
From above earth, from above sky,
from below earth, from under water,
come all you little persons
come exactly as you are.

Stunningly illustrated by Jessica Courtney-Tickle, this is a book that both little persons and big persons will treasure and pore over for a lifetime, and is a true poem of our time.
'A lyrical collaboration . . . a joyful, tender dance, celebrating people, places and the glory of existence.' Guardian
