Featuring turbo-charged trees, double agent forests and leaves that perform magic, this is a wide-ranging collection of fun, lyrical and thought-provoking poems. Some have already appeared on programmes such as Blue Peter, Poetry Please and BBC Poetry Pie. Others have delighted audiences up and down the country. There are new poems that celebrate the outdoors, tree-climbing, forest school, ecological matters and nature in the city, alongside a smattering of favourites from previous anthologies and collections. As ever Andrew infuses the poems with his bonkers and surreal imagination.

Andrew Fusek Peters has written and edited over 80 books, many critically acclaimed. He has performed his children’s poetry on Radio and TV and features on the Poetry Archive. His books include the best of his children’s poetry Mad, Bad and Dangerously Haddock {Lion} and for older readers, Poems With Attitude {Wayland}. This new collection features a varied selection of both fun and lyrical poems on the theme of trees and seasons.
