The Big Book of Clara

Clara is nine years old. She has a younger sibling—a brother—but she’d much rather have a dog. Specifically, a golden retriever. She also has a diary, where she carefully records everything that happens.

A warm, witty collection of everyday adventures told through the eyes of Clara.
From chaotic family trips and school assignments due “yesterday,” to lost heirlooms and traffic jams full of “Are we there yet?”—these laugh-out-loud stories capture the chaos, charm, and comedy of real life.
With clever humor for adults and relatable moments for kids, Wicha’s storytelling speaks to all ages—spotlighting the absurdities of modern life with heart and hilarity.

The author not only views the world through a wonderfully childlike lens—he also gives a sly wink to adult readers. He gently exposes the absurdities of the education system, the excesses of consumerism, and the mindless trends we so often follow. All of this is wrapped in brilliant situational humor that speaks to readers of all ages.
