Book Details

A young boy gives his perspective on several things the grown-ups running the country could do differently.


How much happier would we be if all the adults went to nursery once a month to remind themselves how to play? How much safer would we be if Christmas lights were left up all year round to light everyone’s way home?


This hilarious picture book treats profound topics with sensitivity and care. This is a book for all those children who dare to dream big and for all those adults who want to look on the world with fresh eyes.


“This joyous picture book is a beautifully illustrated story which gets young readers thinking about what they would change if they were in charge. It covers major socio-political themes including the education, immigration, healthcare and environment in a child-friendly, approachable way.”

- BookTrust


“After dozens of ideas that bend and dance around each layout, promises get more serious and are in dialogue with daily news. The ideas are either chuckle-inducing or heart-warming (or both) across the board.”

- Kirkus Reviews
