She could be at the funfair, in the garden, fishing, or even at the dentist. But wherever she is, she's usually making mischief, making a mess or causing chaos, usually at the same time. Yeah, we were definitely the naughty ones. In one of my favourite stories, at a birthday party, My Naughty Little Sister and her best friend, Bad Harry, sneak away from the other children to have a look at a delicious trifle decorated with sweets.So they dug away into the spongy inside of the trifle and found lots of nice fruit bits inside. It was a very big trifle, but those greedy children ate and ate. Then, just as they had nearly finished the whole big trifle, the ring-a-rose-ing stopped and Bad Harry's mother called, Shirley was just the person that those who loved her illustrations would expect her to be. Usually in a hat, she was effortlessly elegant and graceful, and wonderful company: funny, insightful and kind with a laugh that was both loud and heartfelt. Before long, that trifle was disappearing fast, because once My Naughty Little Sister and Bad Harry started eating, they found they couldn't stop.

Shirley’s ability to draw children was spotted by a children’s books editor while she was still a student at the Ruskin School of Drawing, Oxford. Initially, she mainly illustrated other people’s stories, starting with Noel Streatfeild’s The Bell Family in 1954, and including most notably Dorothy Edwards’s My Naughty Little Sister books when they were republished in the late 1960s.

And we all know how that feels, don't we? I used to read these stories, almost every night. It's probably one of my favourite books from when I was younger. The stories are told by an older sister, and I like the funny way they show the new responsibility of having a younger sister, because even though we all love our younger brother and sisters, we all know they can be a real pain sometimes too. I have two sisters, one twin sister and one 11-year-old sister. The 11-year-old's quite sensible, quite well-behaved, but I think me and the twin were the naughty ones. In addition to her own work, Shirley battled hard for the cause of illustrators and authors, serving on the management committees of the Society of Authors, Public Lending Right and the Library and Information Services Council. She could create a sense of drama out of the smallest thing and resolve it without ever needing to deliver a message. Instead, she relied on children and their parents being largely sensible and so able to solve problems for themselves. Apology Letter: Guide the children in writing an apology letter from the little sister to say sorry for one of the things they did in the story like trying to cut the cat’s tail off or eating the delicious trifle decorated with sweets.
