But in my magic family it's Mama, Mum and me! Let's tell our family stories, adding magic to what's true, and we'll find out who's who to me, and who is who to you . . . In this celebratory, reassuring rhyming story a little girl with two mummies shares the magic of her family and discovers how magic all her friends' families are, too.
