Wonderfully written with excellent illustrations (photographs). I would recommend this book to all parents with children who suffer from juvenile diabetes.

Extremely informative guide on how to manage everyday life with a child who has diabetes. Just reading through the book made me feel better able to handle diet, insulin, etc.

This collection of Pam Ayres' poems tells us how she came to be a poet before explaining the mysteries of all the things hands are used for!

Pam has chosen to include some prose in which she shares with us some snapshots about her life - holidaying at Gumpy's beach, her thoughts about aging gracefully ('Will I have to be sexy at 60?'), wonderbras, the realities of keeping chickens, the feelings of parents as a child's sports team is mercilessly thrashed...the list goes on.

My favourite is 'Yes, I'll marry you, my dear' which explains the practicalities of marriage from a uniquely female perspective!

As in all her poetry, Pam has a special ability to make us laugh.
