Laureate and Light.

The newly appointed Children's Laureate Chris Ridell has kindly drawn some sketches to go with my poem 'Six Facts About Light' (from my latest collection My Life as a Goldfish). It's great to see Light interpreted in this way.

The upcoming theme of National Poetry Day is Light. This poem can be used as a model for other personification poems such as Six Facts About Autumn or Five Facts about Volcanoes etc.
