A perfect book for mums and little ones finding their feet, this sunny, funny and relatable picture book captures both the joys and the struggles of having young children who LOVE to be carried or pushed in their buggy (but parents need a break, too!).
"An ode to exhausted mamas everywhere." Kirkus Reviews
"A delightful, unassuming story about learning that everyone needs a break sometimes, and how to get one. With simple text and bright, detailed pictures, this story is sure to become a firm favourite." Children's Books Ireland, Reading Matters Guide
Welcome to Cheery Street! This is where Wilbur lives with his wonderful mummy. Wilbur is a funny, busy child ... but he refuses to walk anywhere. He loves to be pushed in his buggy and he really loves to be carried – whether it's on his mummy's shoulders or getting a piggyback. Poor Mummy's back is getting quite sore and she is feeling very tired. So tired, in fact, she might just have a little rest in Wilbur's buggy...
