We Are Family

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.
