Meet six kids and their amazing, single super-Dad
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.
