The things in life that really matter aren't actually things at all!

Big Ghost wants all the things! Except, do they, really? Luckily, Little Ghost is there to ask all the right questions (such as: ‘Do you want an actual octopus as a hat?’) to gently guide Big Ghost to the realisation that maybe what they really want is a friend to help them out when they get in a pickle.

A gorgeous celebration of the things in life that really matter from picture book superstar, Sophy Henn. Perfect for fans of The Colour Monster by Anna Llenas, Tom Percival's Big Bright Feelings series and The Whale Who Wanted More by Rachel Bright and Jim Field.

  • Ideal for encouraging conversations about wanting things
  • Funny characters and bold, colourful artwork
  • Striking speech bubble design for a conversational feel!

Praise for I Hate Everything: “Such a funny, relatable book about tricky moods… Sophy's illustrations always leap off the page.” Nadia Shireen, author of Barbara Throws a Wobbler and Grimwood.
