'Days Like This' is a book of celebration - whether it's the wonder of sleeping outdoors,the quiet contemplation of fishing in streams,or the joy of bouncing on a bed in the afternoon.These small poems,some familiar,some new,have been carefully selected by Simon James,whose expressive line and watercolours portray an everyday world overflowing with wonder and possibility.
With words and pictures given space to breathe,this is a collection of poems to read and delight in,like days,from beginning to end.Of this poetry collection Simon James says,"Over the years I have come across many delightful small poems and have always wanted to give them room and then expand on them visually.In 'Days
Like This',I set out to make a genuine picture book of poetry." James's illustrations are similar in style to Quentin Blake.
