Customer Reviews

Really Nice
This is a beautiful book that is destined to become a classic. It made my wife cry when given as Mother's day present by our baby daughter. It sums up everything a mother means to a child and is illustrated in a timeless way. If you really, really love your mum then show her this wonderful book.

A celebration of Mummys everywhere.
My son absolutely loves this book. Beautiful illustrations celebrating all the things Mum is good at as seen through the eyes of a small child. Like the "My Dad" book the ending shows Mum and child sharing a cuddle and acknowledging how much they love one another. My son always says "That's you Mummy and you are giving me a cuddle" before throwing himself into my arms for a real one. Beautiful - we love it.

Super!
I really want to tell you about this book because the story is about what a little girl thinks of her mum. A brilliant book to read, enjoyable for all ages. It will make all mums around the world smile.
