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.
