Mums are amazing people and they do wondrous things, many of which are captured in this clever text-and-illustration picture book for our youngest readers. 

From being “magic lost-and-found mums” to “never-let-you-down mums” mums of all shapes, sizes and species frolic through the pages of this delightful book celebrating these precious people in our lives.

But as well as requiring the young reader to really connect text to picture and articulate what is happening so they understand the story, the final line opens up the opportunity for children to build on the book by thinking of something special their own mum does and then encapsulating that in a picture and the briefest caption to build a book about the class’s amazing mums.  Great for upcoming Mothers Day.
