I Really Want to Win by Simon Philip

I Really Want to Win by Simon Philip

Perfect for fans of mischievous storytime favorites like Pig the Pug, The Bad Seed, and Eloise comes a winning story about a spunky heroine and her sidekick pup who are ready to WIN!

Today is Sports Day, I can't wait.

And as I know that I'll be great,

I've planned how I will celebrate...

Because I'm going to WIN.

Our heroine and her sidekick pup have their eyes on the prize and are ready to find something to WIN. They compete in a spelling bee, a dancing contest, hide-and-seek, and more in search of a shiny medal. But what will happen if they... don't walk away the winner? Playfully tackling themes of competition, good sportsmanship, and being a fair loser (and winner!), I Really Want to Win joyfully reminds readers that, sometimes, winning isn't everything. With rollicking rhyming text from Simon Philip, bold, expressive illustrations from Lucia Gaggiotti, and a spunky heroine in the middle of it all, this follow-up to I Really Want the Cake is sure to be a winner!

"A great conversation starter about the frustrations of competition and the search for a personal passion." -- Kirkus Reviews

Simon Philip was born in Chichester and has lived there ever since. After gaining a first-class degree in History at Exeter University, he immediately put his skills to good use working as a barman at a local pub. He soon grew tired of the owner calling him Andy, and so, naturally, decided to become a primary school teacher. Teaching rekindled his love of children's literature, particularly picture books, so much so that he had a go at writing his own.

Kate Hindley is a children's book illustrator living and working in Birmingham, UK. She worked as a Print Designer at a Northamptonshire-based design company before she got her first book deal with Simon & Schuster back in 2011, illustrating Claire Freedman's The Great Snortle Hunt. Since then she has worked on picture books and fiction with publishers including Walker Books, Simon & Schuster, Bloomsbury, Candlewick, and Usborne.
