I wonder how it feels to be so full of light, so full of joy, and yet so small when compared to the sky. This book is suitable for KS2 pupils who have already started using poetry and are aware of the different poetic techniques. Julian Doyle: “Kate came to me with a storyboard, which I remember had the sun coming up with a face on it. A touching story, written in verse, which celebrates friendship and individuality – from the award-winning author of Noughts and Crosses .The illustrations dotted throughout the book offer another great way of breaking up the story and jolting the reading back into a different dimension of the story, coupled with the poetic layout of the text, these images are simple and yet very effective. I chose to read this book because I was intrigued by the poetry format and I always seek profound and emotional children's novels!
