Interest Age 7 Reading Age 7 | In a nutshell: the surprise arrival of a new baby | Bernard Ashley’s exciting contemporary story throbs with real voices, real situations, and real heart. Lena can’t work out what’s wrong with her mum, she’s tired all the time and doesn’t want to eat.
But Mum’s not ill, she’s pregnant! Lena, a keen member of her local Cubs, helps her mum throughout the pregnancy and when the baby decides to arrive early, before the midwife or Dad can get there, Lena is still there to help Mum, just as her aunty had helped at her mum’s birth back in a snowy Poland. A warm cheerful story about modern family life. ~ Andrea Reece
