A hilariously relatable story about learning to share and tantrums with bright, bold and quirky illustrations from Gwen Millward.
It all started with a GROWL.
Poppy and Max are brother and sister. And brothers and sisters are supposed to share . . . except Poppy was playing with MAX'S truck! Max was cross. Poppy was cross. And then suddenly . . . CRASH! FLASH! FIZZ!
THEY WERE WILDLINGS!
Can mum and dad find a way to get the less wild and much less hairy Poppy and Max back? Or will the children find a way to work together before it goes from bad to worse?
This fantastically funny story represents a blended family and gives voice to how tricky sharing can be as well as how to process the anger, frustration and jealousy that comes with it.
