Today is Sports Day. I CAN'T WAIT! And as I know that I'll be great, I've planned how I will celebrate - because I'm going to win.

Our heroine is determined that she's going to win all the events at school sports day. The problem is that winning isn't as easy as it looks. She doesn't win the running race or the tug of war - and she can't even win a game of hide-and-seek. But maybe winning isn't really the point?

A joyful picture book with an important message from the author and illustrator of I Really Want the Cake.

An important story about competition and how to have a healthy attitude to it.

Lucia Gaggiotti's expressive artwork combined with Simon Philip's galloping rhyming text combine to make the perfect comic picture book - with a serious message at its heart.

The I Really Want... series has sold a combined total of over 100,000 copies worldwide (as of July 2022)

I Really Want the Cake was shortlisted for the Waterstones Prize.

Simon Philip's first book You Must Bring a Hat (Simon and Schuster) was Sainsbury's Children's Book of the Year in 2016.
