I Really Want 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.

The determined heroine of I Really Want to Share faces this conundrum – with mixed results! A hilarious story with an important message at its heart, from the author of I Really Want the Cake (shortlisted for the Waterstones Prize), I Really Want to Win and I Really Want to Shout .

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.”
