MEDIA REVIEWS
'Riddell's drawings seem blown speedily across the pages as if by a spring breeze. But the pleasure and surprise is that the poems themselves are not light as candyfloss. This is a stupendously well-chosen,feelgood anthology in which even feel-bad poems feel good. This little book is a must-have,with poems that will make you feel more alive.'- Kate Kellaway,The Observer
