She’s hungry, she’s cranky, she’s feeling too hot.
It’s way past nap time and she’s not in her cot.
She’s snotty and teary – there is no room for error.
Incredible, unstoppable, titan of terror!
What would you do if a toddler tornado tore through your toys? Get her a snack? Sing her a lullaby? Give her a cuddle? Can one clever sibling tame the tantrum before the whole house turns to rubble?
A hilarious and heartwarming tale that's perfect for big siblings, tired parents and anyone who’s faced a tiny human whirlwind.
Masterfully captures the highs and lows of sibling life in a tongue-in-cheek story that also sweetly touches on brotherly love and empathy.

Shanks uses bright primary colours, comic-book-style layouts, complete with dynamic angles and oversized 'monster' moments, to perfectly match the humour and energy in Froud's text.

I have lived and worked my whole life in Gadigal and Boon Wurrung Country in what we now call Australia. I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which I do my work and I pay my respects to elders past and present. I acknowledge the sorrow of the stolen generations and the impacts of colonisation on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I also recognise the resilience, strength and pride of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and through my work, aim to help as much as I can to empower and help them thrive.
The land we call Australia always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
