Grace Nichols' first collection of poetry for children, Come on into my Tropical Garden, was published by A&C Black in 1988. 25 years on, A&C Black is proud to re-release this together with her second collection, Give Yourself a Hug, in a new single-volume edition. The Caribbean rhythms and culture that come through her writing blend with the experience of moving to Britain to make this a truly multicultural collection from one of our foremost poets.

Review:
The poems are wide-ranging and varied with wonderful use of language. - --www.parentsintouch.co.uk
a delightful gathering of cross-cultural poems...These bouncy, almost visual poems are a joy for age 9+ or to read aloud to younger children. - --Irish Examiner
This is a welcome re-issue of poet Grace Nichols' first two volumes of poetry for children and the two combined make for a newly fascinating book. The rhythms and language of these poems will continue to delight children many of whom will have their own inspirations to share! - --John Newman, School Librarian magazine
