About this book

Sara is having one of those days. First she has a sock problem, and then there's a strange pea... All of a sudden, her Wobbler is out of control! What can Sara do on a day like today?

As ever, Shireen’s humour and empathy with little ones shines through, creating a book that totally gets exactly how frustrating life can be when you’re small, but also knows that tantrums are just a part of life and – maybe – something that we can all laugh about, afterwards.

About the author

Nadia Shireen enjoyed making homemade magazines and comics as a child. She studied law at university and then worked in magazine journalism; it was during this time that she started to draw again. After a lifetime of doodling in the sidelines, Nadia decided to pay some attention to drawing and in 2007 was accepted onto an MA course in children’s book illustration at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge. Her debut book, Good Little Wolf, received a mention in the Bologna Ragazzi Opera Prima Award and won the UKLA Book Award. Nadia has been shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize. She lives in London.
