Meet Skig, who is meant to be a warrior (but is really more of a worrier). Meet a giddy comet, which skids across the sky with its tail on fire. Put a marvellous new machine in your pocket, which promises to solve all of your life s problems. Kate Wakeling's first book of poems for children is full of curious characters and strange situations.
The poems she writes are always musical, sometimes wistful, and full of wonder at the weirdness of the world.
'This clever, funny, inspiring poetry collection, which has just won the CLiPPA, is a children's debut by a poet for adults, full of rich ideas and roll-around-the-tongue sounds that demand to be read aloud.' -- Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times ‘Poems to be welcomed, savoured and read aloud.’ -- Books for Keeps
Kate Wakeling grew up in Yorkshire and Birmingham. Her first collection of children's poems, Moon Juice, won the CLiPPA Prize in 2017 and was nominated for the Carnegie Medal.
Her second, Cloud Soup , was a Book of the Month in the Guardian and the Scotsman and shortlisted for the 2022 CLiPPA.
Kate has performed her poems at Shakespeare's Globe, Southbank Centre and the Cheltenham Literature Festival among others, and she loves running workshops in primary schools.
Kate also writes for adults and a pamphlet of her poetry, The Rainbow Faults, is published by The Rialto. She lives in Oxford.
