From the creator of multi-award-winning I Am the Subway.

Making sure you get your rightful share in a family of five siblings is never easy. Everything must be carefully calculated and precisely measured to make sure no one misses out.

How We Share Cake is a hilarious exploration of the timeless struggle for fairness and justice among brothers and sisters. This delightful story captures the very essence of family dynamics.

'This is the most funny, clever, gorgeous book with the lightest touch and yet so profound and universal.' - Davina Bell, author of All the Ways to be Smart

'Sharing isn't always caring, but affection and scheming go hand in hand in this sweetly hilarious tale.' - Kirkus Reviews, 'Best Books of the Year'

'In a family of five siblings, this book's narrator - the second-oldest - describes how "we can split anything" ... Kim employs pencil and watercolour textures in sweetly amusing spreads that show how a wealth of items are allotted, in this moving work about divisions and connections.' - Publishers Weekly, starred review

'Kim Hyo-eun's delicious How We Share Cake, her second Korean import after the award-winning I Am the Subway ... focuses on the pursuit of familial fairness ... stylised pencil, watercolour, and collage illustrations - outlined in black and white, strategically enhanced with detailed colours and patterns - are reminiscent of comic panels with their generous use of white space, whimsy, and humour.' - Shelf Awareness, starred review
