We Are Family : Six Kids and a Super-Dad by Oliver Sykes

There’s Dad’s disgusting nettle soup and peculiar pancakes, horrible home haircuts, punishing press-ups and scum in the bath tub. BUT then there’s the joy of boxing lessons with Dad, fun family outings, jokes and pranks – and storytelling round the fire. Not to mention a homemade birthday cake like no other! The author's real-life childhood – rough, tough but happy – is vividly depicted in this ground-breaking, debut story told in poems.

Illustrated by Ian Morris, published by Otter-Barry Books (suitable for children 9+)
