我真的好想分享 I Really Want to Share

 
　　有一天早上，爸爸、媽媽來到我的床邊，臉上帶著笑容，宣布一個大消息。我才知道原來我們這個完美的三人家庭，即將迎接新成員，媽媽告訴我：「接下來你得學著分享囉。」
 
　　我說：「沒問題啊，我很期待要當姊姊了！」跟其他人分享，我做得到。我的生日要到了，我發了派對邀請卡給每個小朋友。可是到了派對那天，我發現大家的目光沒有都在我身上，我開始覺得不是滋味，發蛋糕時，我給了每個人小小一塊，然後把剩下的大塊蛋糕藏起來，因為這是我的份！可是當其它人發現這件事，他們都不太開心。我真的知道要怎麼分享嗎……
 
　　很快就到了寶寶要出生的日子，我被帶到阿公阿嬤家，我跟阿公說了我的煩惱，我擔心會把事情搞砸，爸爸、媽媽也不會再像以前那樣愛我……阿公跟我說，分享可不是件是容易的事，就連大人也不一定能做好，這是需要練習的！當弟弟終於來到，我發現一切沒有我想得那麼糟，有我可以做到的事，現在我甚至很開心我們變成四人家庭！

Everyone knows sharing is difficult, but a new sibling can be a particularly tricky challenge for lots of children. This story is a brilliantly funny take on growing families and introducing new siblings.

　　The determined heroine of I Really Want to Share faces this conundrum - with mixed results! A hilarious story with an important message at its heart, from the author of I Really Want the Cake (shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize), I Really Want to Win and I Really Want to Shout .

　　One morning, as I lazed in bed,
　　my parents, smiling, came and said,
　　"Come snuggle up with us instead.
　　We've news we want to share."

　　That's when I learned that we, a three,
　　a perfect little family,
　　would soon be four, Mum telling me,
　　"You'll have to learn to share."
