Imagine if children were in charge and grown-ups acted like big kids! A brilliantly bright and funny role-reversal story will leave children and grown-ups giggling.
It's Monday morning – and it's time for Sidney to take Dad to work. Except, Dad doesn't want to go. He's got a funny feeling in his tummy. Maybe he should just stay home instead...
Sidney reassures Dad that he's just got a case of the Monday jitters and slowly manages to coax him out of the door – looking after grown-ups can be so difficult!
Erik Wennstam's fun and funny tale of family life (with a twist!) is vividly captured by Julia Hansson's bright and bold illustrations. Perfect for anyone who's ever wanted to hide under the duvet come Monday morning!
Erik Wennstam is an award-winning author and high-school teacher from Sweden. His debut picture book Grown-Ups Are Hard Work! is inspired by Monday mornings and preschool drop-offs with his three children.
Julia Hansson is a children's author and illustrator from Sweden. She is the creator of the Billie and Bean picture book series, which was a Gold Standard Selection by the Junior Library Guild.
