William Wobbly
and the Mysterious Holey Jumper
Sarah Naish and Rosie Jefferies
Illustrated by Megan Evans
Introduction
Meet William Wobbly
William Wobbly lives with his mum, dad and sisters, Sophie Spikey, Rosie Rudey, Charley Chatty and Katie Careful. The children did not have an easy start in life and now live with their new mum and dad. All the stories are true stories. The children are real children who had difficult times, and were left feeling as if they could not trust grown-ups to sort anything out, or look after them properly. Sometimes the children were sad, sometimes very angry. Often they did things which upset other people but they did not understand why.
In this story William Wobbly is scared and worried. The wobbly feelings are back and William is working hard to make them go away. First he tries distracting himself but his sister Sophie Spikey ruins that! Then mysterious holes start appearing in his jumper. When he gets to school he is terrified to find his teacher has DISAPPEARED! Luckily, William’s mum is on hand to help him find out what has happened to his teacher and where the mysterious holes in his jumper came from.
Written by William’s mum, and his sister (who had a lot of wobbly feelings), this story will help everyone feel a bit better.
William Wobbly had that wobbly feeling again in his tummy. His feet and hands were all tippy tappy, and when he tried to eat his breakfast his bottom just kept on sliding off the chair!
Normally William’s new mum was very good at spotting William’s wobbliness, but today she had her ‘busy face’ on.
Charley Chatty kept on chatting away. Mum’s face got busier and her hands moved in a very busy, fast way.
When it was time to go to school, the wobbly feeling got bigger. William thought it must be very quiet at home when all the children are at school. He wondered if his mum forgot about him when he was at school.
When he thought that, the wobbly feeling seemed to wobble his head as well.
While William waited for his mum to help Charley Chatty to put her shoes on, he sat quietly in the corner, chewing the sleeve of his jumper.
His sister, Sophie Spikey, saw him and said,
“Mum, William is chewing his jumper again!”
Mum made her
sighing face while
she tied up
Charley’s
shoelaces.
When they got in the car,
William was pleased to see
his elastic band, ‘Robert’, in
his place in the car. William
wore him every day. William
put Robert on his wrist and
pinged the band lots of times.
Sophie Spikey was sitting next
to William. She saw William
playing with Robert and pinged
him so hard that he snapped
in two! William made a loud
screeching
noise. Sophie
Spikey
smiled.
Mum had seen
what Sophie
did and said,
“It’s a shame
that you chose
to be unkind
to your brother. Now you will need to make it up to him.”
Mum got a new elastic band out of her ‘emergency box’ in the front of the car and gave it to William.
William thought the new band
did not look like Robert. He
looked sadly at all the broken
Robert bits. William started
chewing his jumper again.
The hole was getting bigger
and damper.
By the time they got to school William had started chewing round the neck bit of his jumper as well.
Mum didn’t notice when she kissed them all goodbye. She was too busy stopping Sophie Spikey and Charley Chatty from arguing.
Sometimes, William thought Mum looked a bit like a spider with
all her arms
and legs doing
busy things
everywhere.
