Out and About

Walker Books
1988

In this wonderful collection of poems, by best-loved and Kate Greenaway Medal-winner, Shirley Hughes, Katie and her little brother Olly go out and about, romping through the changing seasons. They take pleasure in the different elements and weather conditions – sunshine, wind, rain, mist and even snow. From the joys of the seaside to the miseries of the sickbed, this exuberant volume captures to perfection the world of childhood.

“I want children to learn how to look, how to linger over a picture… 

Posy Simmonds
author and illustrator

… the enjoyment of art comes from looking carefully and looking as long as you like.” 

SHIRLEY HUGHES
