The extraordinary touches a seemingly ordinary moment of family life, in this tender, heart-warming story.

The Winner of the Australian Prime Minister's Literary Award 2017

Francie and her mum, who is expecting a baby girl, are driving home from Grandma’s in the heavy rain. When they're still far from home, they stop for a picnic. And as the car steams up, Francie presses her little finger on the window, spelling out "Daddy" and "Mummy" and leaving one space free, ready and waiting for the name of her soon-to-be sister...

A beautifully observed celebration of the way inspiration can, and often does happen in the most ordinary and unlikely of places, this is a tender, touching story of family life, perfect for sharing when a new baby is on the way.
