WINNER of the 2018 4-11 Picture Book Awards (Fiction 4-7 category)

One of the New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Books of 2017

All I want to do on a rainy day like today is play my game, but my mum says it's a waste of time. The game drives my mum mad. She takes it away. I take it back. I wish Dad had come with us on this rainy, grey weekend. Without my game, nothing is fun.

On the other hand, maybe I'm wrong about that...
