Praise for Valerie Bloom:

`Valerie Bloom has that magic touch which . . . can make the strange familiar and the familiar strange' John Mole, TES
'Let Me Touch the Sky contains some performance poems of rare and exceptional quality . . . If we had a multicultural Children's Laureate, I would nominate her' Peter Hollindale, Signal
