Young children can dip in at any page and feel all the fun of the celebration, while learning about different cultures and traditions.

Bright Bursts of Colour 

Matt Goodfellow

Bright Bursts of Colour (Paperback)

Waterstones Says

A brilliant, prize-winning collection of poems by Matt Goodfellow Winner of the 2020 North Somerset Teachers' Book Award for best children's poetry book
_______________

What if cats had flavoured fur, or you swallowed the sun? What if you were a special kind of badger, or you found a map to the stars? And what if your home was split during the week: one half at Mum's, the other half at Dad's?

Packed with brilliant poems that explore a whole range of themes from the downright silly to the sensitive, this collection will delight, enthuse and resonate with children and adults alike.
