Reviews / Votes
"How Selfish! by Clare Helen Welsh trumpets the virtues of sharing within a skilfully immersive plot. Young readers will love the snappy dialogue and humorous drawings that drive home the story's message: 'In a world where we can be anything, isn't being kind the greatest thing of all?'" -- Emily Bearn * The Telegraph *More details
