Description
It is Mother's Day tomorrow and the shops are sparkling with lights and gifts, with people, laughter and excitement - looking for the perfect gift to bring a smile of joy to mums at home.
Among the candles and balloons, the orchids and chocolate hearts, one young girl searches for a card that features a mum who looks like hers. Her mum has gold bangles that jingle-jangle when she washes the curry pots. Her mum wears silk kameez when she buys papaya at the market. Her mum has dark eyes that flash when she dances the bhangra. What will the little girl do if she can't find a card with a mum who looks like hers?
A lively, inclusive picture book about identity and belonging that joyfully celebrates mums and motherhood.
