Regular price
€13.99
A celebration of mums written by Simon Philip with joyful and traditional illustrations by Dawn Lo.
Mums are SPECIAL. Mums are UNIQUE.
They can play let's pretend . . .
. . . and be your best friend.
They can be pilots of planes
Or drivers of trains.
All mums are DIFFERENT, MAGIC . . . and MAGNIFICENT!
Mums Are Magnificent champions the diverse nature of mums and uplifts and celebrates ALL types of mums everywhere - the perfect present to mark the arrival of a new baby or to give to that very special mum on Mother's Day. Just like I Love My Mummy by Giles Andreae and Emma Dodd, With My Mummy by James Brown and Cally Johnson-Isaacs, and My Mum by Anthony Browne, Mums Are Magnificent is a tender exploration of the love between mother and child.
Simon lives on the south coast of England, although he occasionally leaves to buy milk. After gaining a 1st class degree in History at Exeter University, he became a barman, grew tired of the owner calling him Andy, left in order to fail a Primary PGCE, then finally stumbled upon writing (sometimes award-winning) books. Born in Hong Kong, Dawn Lo is an illustrator currently based in Vancouver, unceded lands of the Squamish, Musqueam, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations. Her work has appeared in picture books, stationery, greeting cards, public art installations, murals and more! Most of her work is inspired by little, everyday moments and personal multicultural experiences. When she is not drawing at her home studio, she works at the public library where she can surround herself with more books.
