We Are Family Summary

We Are Family: Six Kids and a Super-Dad - a poetry adventure by Oliver Sykes

Theres Dads disgusting nettle soup and peculiar pancakes, horrible home haircuts, punishing press-ups and scum in the bath tub. BUT then theres the joy of boxing lessons with Dad, fun family outings, jokes and pranks and storytelling round the fire. Not to mention a homemade birthday cake like no other!

The author's real-life childhood rough, tough but happy is vividly depicted in this ground-breaking, debut story told in poems.
