In this debut collection, Shagufta’s poems reflect the things that mean the most to her.

There are poems about family, love friendship and faith, Eid, climate change, ninja cats, geraniums, Bath, and Bristol, The Coral Reef, chillis and even shoelaces; all illuminating her vibrant imagination, her passions, and her very distinct voice.

Shagufta says, ‘this is a book for young people who are trying to make sense of the world, and for grown-ups who want to remember the magic and mayhem of childhood’.
