Out and About: A First Book of Poems

Product Information

Shirley’s ability to draw children was spotted by a children’s books editor while she was still a student at the Ruskin School of Drawing, Oxford. Initially, she mainly illustrated other people’s stories, starting with Noel Streatfeild’s The Bell Family in 1954, and including most notably Dorothy Edwards’s My Naughty Little Sister books when they were republished in the late 1960s. She also illustrated books by Alison Uttley, Ian Serraillier and Margaret Mahy.

Her exceptional contribution to children’s books was widely recognised, with awards for individual titles including the Children’s Rights Workshop Other award, a prize that celebrated diversity in children’s books, for Helpers (1975); and a second Kate Greenaway medal, for Ella’s Big Chance (2003). She received the Eleanor Farjeon award for services to children’s literature in 1984, and was the first winner of the BookTrust lifetime achievement award, in 2015. She was appointed OBE in 1999 and CBE in 2017. I didn’t like school much. I wasn’t very good academically. I swanned along and I was passionately keen on art. In the wartime it was absolutely freezing at school, we huddled along together. I left as soon as I could and went to Liverpool Art School when I was 16, to study history of costume. Later I decided to be an illustrator but I do think a book is a little theatre. The episode – titled “Silenced” – shows Hughes meeting Dahmer during a night out and striking up a relationship with him. The show implies that, as Hughes tries to leave after a night spent together, Dahmer murders him, possibly with a bloodied hammer. Viewers see how Tony Hughes – portrayed by deaf actor and former reality television star Rodney Burford – loses his hearing in his infancy after a doctor misprescribed him medication amid what his mother has previously described as a battle with pneumonia.It hurts,” Shirley Hughes told the wire service. “I shed tears. They’re not tears of sorrow, and it’s not disbelief in the Lord. The tears [are] tears of hurt because it hurts. It hurts real bad. But you have to trust and pray and just keep going day by day.”

Out and About: A First Book of Poems : Hughes, Shirley

Much later, she wrote fiction: The Lion and the Unicorn (2000), a short novel with many illustrations for six- to eight-year-olds, and two wartime adventures, Hero on a Bicycle (2012) and Whistling in the Dark (2016). In 2012 she published Dixie O’Day: In The Fast Lane!, the first in an illustrated series created jointly with her daughter, Clara Vulliamy. For her last book, written at the age of 92, she returned to the story of the lost toy dog with a seasonal sequel, Dogger’s Christmas, published in 2020. Netflix wasn’t required to consult victims’ families because the events it portrays are public record, but the way things went down re-traumatized the loved ones of those murdered by Dahmer, Perry added.The poem ‘spring greens’ can relate to a topic all about gardening and allows children to explore planting their own plants. She enjoyed frequent visits to the theatre with her mother, which gave her a love for observing people and a desire to create. [18]
