Sometimes I Just Won’t

I think this is going to be another story time favourite, two added to the regular repertoire in one day is always nice.

Full of energy in the writing and the illustrations this begs to be read whilst moving and gesticulating a lot and getting your audience to join in if you can.

There is so much in the pictures that you can bring into the session over and above the words, but the words are wonderfully lyrical and an easy book to read upside down.

All about a young boy who has varying days like the rest and best of us, one day they will want to do things as they are meant to do them and then others, really not.

This is a great book about agency and being unsure, taking control and becoming confident but not just not doing something for the sake of orneriness, though sometimes there is value in being ornery.
