Author Description

A picture book for toddlers and preschoolers, this spin on a classic fairytale is enormous fun to read aloud for every birthday.Would you be brave enough go to a wolf's birthday party? Silvie the Little Big Bad Wolf doesn't have any friends, and even if she invites the fairytale children to her birthday party, they might be too scared to come because Silvie's daddy is? the Big Bad Wolf! And what if the children do come to her party, and Silvie does something terribly, horribly wolfy?? We're living in a time where the simple pleasure of birthday parties with friends is not possible for so many children, and this book has arisen from a desire to celebrate this moment in a child's life, which ignites their sense of self.The little Big bad Wolf's birthday party is written from the the author's own experience of managing her daughter Ella's terribly horribly wolfy feelings during her first big girl birthday party at age three - especially when more tiny friends showed up than they had party bags for! This book would not have been possible without the support of the educators at Unicare ECE at the Univercity of Western Australia.
