Title
Peter Look Up
Description
This character is dressed in tattered clothes and barefoot and as his name suggests, is looking up to the sky.

The poet, Donald Campbell has written a poem inspired by this character by Holt:

Peter Look Up

Look up, Peter - the sun is shining.
Peter, look up - the sky is blue.
Every cloud has a silver lining;
Believe or not, it's true
for you.
Believe or not, it's true!

Peter, look up - the birds are singing
Look up, Peter - it's all brand-new!
Peter, look up - the bells are ringing;
Can't you tell that springtime's due?
Yoo-hoo!
Can't you tell that springtime's due?

Peter, look up - the wind's abating.
Look up, Peter - it's blowing through.
Peter, look up - the whole world's waiting
to see what you're going to do -
too true!
- to see what you're going to do.
