Overview
An hilarious story about sibling rivalry and a childās impulse to run away from homeā(and come back again!)
āWhen my squawking baby brother arrived, I realized I needed a new family. No one seemed to mind when I packed my bag. I took a box and used my best handwriting to write āFREE KIDā, then waited for some new parents to take me home.ā
Waiting in a box like an abandoned pet and encountering the passersby changes the girlās perspective. At the end of the day, when her parents pretend they need an older sister for their new baby, she is ready to leave her box and go happily back home.
In this comical twist on sibling rivalry, a girl decides she needs a new familyāso she writes Free Kid on a box and waits in the street for some better parents to choose her.
Translated from the Japanese edition, this accessible story is perfect for children starting on independent reading and is illustrated in a graphic comic style that really captures childlike subversive humor. Ideal for fans of Charles Schulzās Peanuts comic strip.
A useful book to teach young children about welcoming a new baby sibling to the family, or exploring playful sibling relationships, through funny and lighthearted storytelling.
