I Really Want To Share

“One morning, as I lazed in bed,
my parents, smiling, came and said,
"Come snuggle up with us instead.
We've news we want to share."

That's when I learned that we, a three,
a perfect little family,
would soon be four, Mum telling me,
"You'll have to learn to share."

Everyone knows sharing is difficult, but a new sibling can be a particularly tricky challenge for lots of children. This story is a brilliantly funny take on growing families and introducing new siblings.

Reviews

“Delightfully funny and ideal for all little ones about to welcome a new addition to their family”

Waterstones

“Lucia Gaggiotti’s wonderfully funny illustrations in a bold colour palette really capture the protagonist’s emotional roller coaster and the spirit of Simon Philip’s text. Together they make a book that is just right for sharing with young children who are soon to be, or have just become, a big sister or brother.”

— Jill Bennett, Red Reading Hub

“A funny, delightful, great big hug of a book which is perfect for any soon to be siblings.”

TeenyReaders

“This wonderfully engaging story’s combination of rhythm and rhyme really draws in the reader, and its illustrations provide a multitude of talking points too. With little parallels to traditional tales and even superheroes within the pictures, along with the first-person perspective and rich language, this book could be a great source of discussion and conversation for older early years readers and listeners.”
