With wonderful timing as we anticipate Mother’s Day, this new release will make a gorgeous gift especially for any new mum and bub.
Rosie Smith’s text is simple but eloquent. It completely encapsulates all those wonderful things that mothers (and mother figures) do to make their offspring’s life happy and comfortable, whether it’s making their breakfast or giving great hugs, tucking them in at bedtime after a busy day of playing ball or taking them to school. All those little things that mums do, often without us even realising.
And the icing on the cake for this pink confection of sweetness is the absolutely iconic Bruce Whatley illustrations. They are 100% irresistible – both charming and joyous. It’s an unreserved 5 hearts rating for this little darling.
