Biographical note
Gwen Millward (Author, Illustrator)
Gwen was brought up in Wales. Originally she had her heart set on becoming a naturalist as she loved studying insects and drawing them. Her trips abroad when she was young are associated with finding new and strange looking creatures! After school she migrated north to Edinburgh to study art where she graduated with a First in illustration and was awarded the Helen A. Rose Bequest for art.
Gwen's first picture book, Guess What I Found In Dragon Wood (text by Tim Knapman) was published by Puffin, as was The Bog Baby by Jeanne Willis, and a collaboration with Jenny Nimmo, The Beasties, by Egmont. She has since published many more, including two about Bear and Bird that she has written herself. Gwen has illustrated Stories from Bug Garden (Candlewick), Tiger Lily, which she wrote and illustrated, and Flat Cat, written by Hiawyn Oram.
Gwen is also the illustrator for the Charmseekers series by Amy Tree, published by Orion. She lives in Bristol with her young son.
The vivid, quirky illustrations bring this relatable story to life and 0-5-year-olds will love the bold characters and use of onomatopoeia.
- Tom Tolkien, School Reading List
Delightful and brilliantly illustrated to show just how beastly fighting siblings can be.
- Erin Hamilton, My Shelves Are Full
Millward's funny and wholly relatable story about learning to share and the dreaded tantrums springs to life with a gallery of bright, bold and quirky illustrations. At its heart is a blended family who give voice to how tricky sharing can be, as well as showing youngsters how they can process their anger, frustration and jealousy. Wildly educational!
- Pam Norfolk, Lancashire Evening Post
This is a really humorous story emphasising just how tricky sharing can be. We love the page at the back of the book on how to spot a Wildling (we have at least two in our house), with its laugh out loud tick list! The illustrations are colourful and fun, bringing to life the humour of the story in all its glory. A brilliant book, encouraging children to learn to share and get along with their siblings.
Mini Travellers
This is a bright and lively story for the very young and will work very well in nursery and KS1 classrooms as well as at home where it might be that some sibling rivalry needs to be resolved!
Armadillo Magazine
Illustrated throughout with humorous depictions of the family in all the various situations, the pictures are full of detail and give lots of opportunities for talking about sharing, and the problems of coping with the anger, frustration and jealousy that can come whilst learning how to share. A good book for both the home and the nursery
Books For Keeps
An entertaining and amusing story that will create plenty of opportunity for [..] valuable discussions.
