Reader Comments
We met Christina in WHSmith, Sheffield whilst signing her own books. We bought a copy of this for our niece and she loves it.
Good luck to all the children.
The joint winning entry Music by Fidha Labeeb is very evocatively written. We met Fidha who signed her poem for us.
I listened to Yanny Zaynchkofsky read his poem live on BBC Hereford & Worcester, an amazing accomplishement for a nine year old.
'Painting a Rainbow' is my favourite. Amazing writing for such young children.
Fantastic collection of poems.
Another fantastic collection of poems. It's refreshing to see younger children taking part in a competition like this one. Good luck to all the children involved.
This is the first year of judging for me and feel very privileged to have been asked. I was astounded at the level of writing.
A great book, the children's poems are brilliant!
My niece loved taking part in this competition. We love her poem.
A great collection of poems for children.
