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 2014-09-01)

Grace Nichols' first collection of poetry for children, Come on into my Tropical Garden, was published in 1988. Give Yourself a Hug followed in 1994. Sun Time Snow Time combines these two collections in a single-volume edition. The Caribbean rhythms and culture that come through Grace Nichols' writing blend with the experience of moving to Britain to make this a truly multicultural collection from one of our foremost poets.
