Wobblybat and Whirlyball
A cricket adventure that shows kids why wobbles matter.
Every child wobbles before they win. Here’s the story that shows them why that wobble matters.
Wobblybat and Whirlyball is a joyful celebration of cricket and childhood, but at its heart, it’s about the beautiful messiness of learning.
It reminds little readers (and their grown-ups) that growth doesn’t happen in one perfect hit, but in all the wobbly swings and wild throws that come before.

What Inspired Me to Write This Book
I wrote this because I was witnessing something special—a front-row seat to my child’s growing love for cricket, and my husband’s evolution into a coach, teammate, and cheerleader.
I didn’t just want to bottle the joy of those living-room matches. I wanted to honour them.
I wanted my son to know:
“I saw you. I see you. I’ll always root for you.”
And maybe, just maybe, it’ll spark another kid, somewhere else, to pick up a bat and dream big—one wobbly swing at a time.
Through playful storytelling rooted in real life, I aim to bring energy, emotion, and encouragement to every page, reminding kids that it’s okay to wobble, miss, and try again.
