My mum is a Super Mum, the best I've ever known.
She loves her trackies and her Uggs, her coffee, and her phone.
She comes to my concerts, and pins up my art.
She helps me be brave and follow my heart.
She teaches me to cook, and look after a pet.
And how to put the ball in the back of the net.
My mum is the best!
A hilarious and warm-hearted picture book that's a richly deserved celebration of mothers everywhere. Told in energetic rhyme, with vibrant illustrations, My Mum is the Best is the perfect gift for Mum!
