ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- A family of five Korean siblings have all learnt the power of division! Sharing things equally isn’t always easy, however they have worked out systems to ensure fair quantities for each – but sometimes it’s good not to share!

This simple, yet warm-hearted, tale is enlivened by uncomplicated illustrations that capture the dynamics of a big family! Ages 4-6 Lindy

From the creator of multi-award-winning I Am the Subway. Making sure you get your rightful share in a family of five siblings is never easy. Everything must be carefully calculated and precisely measured to make sure no one misses out.

How We Share Cake is a hilarious exploration of the timeless struggle for fairness and justice among brothers and sisters. This delightful story captures the very essence of family dynamics.

'This is the most funny, clever, gorgeous book with the lightest touch and yet so profound and universal.' -Davina Bell, author of All the Ways to be Smart

'Sharing isn't always caring, but affection and scheming go hand in hand in this sweetly hilarious tale.' -Kirkus Reviews, 'Best Books of the Year'

'In a family of five siblings, this book's narrator - the second-oldest - describes how ""we can split anything"" ... Kim employs pencil and watercolour textures in sweetly amusing spreads that show how a wealth of items are allotted, in this moving work about divisions and connections.' -Publishers Weekly, starred review
