From the creator of The Bumblebear and Billy and the Beast comes a hilarious story of one big bad mood - and how to make it go away...
Nadia Shireen enjoyed making homemade magazines and comics as a child. She studied law at university and then worked in magazine journalism; it was during this time that she started to draw again. After a lifetime of doodling in the sidelines, Nadia decided to pay some attention to drawing and in 2007 was accepted onto an MA course in Children's Book Illustration at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge. Her debut book Good Little Wolf received a mention in the Bologna Ragazzi Opera Prima Award and won the UKLA Book Award. Nadia has been shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and the Waterstones Children's Book Prize. She lives in London.
The sensational Nadia Shireen returns with Barbara Throws a
Wobbler, the hilarious story of a kitten, a sock problem, a strange
pea - and a stupendous tantrum. Its guide to bad moods - from the
huff to the seethe - is worth the cover price by itself; this is
the sort of book that will make both children and adults laugh, and
provide the perfect vocabulary to defuse (some) tense toddler
situations.

Not only will this book get kids talking about their emotions and
how to handle them, it'll have everyone in hysterics, too. An
instant classic, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.
