My Mum is There

Author: Martin ThomasIllustrator: Ag Jatkowska

A little elephant is eager to be able to say and do all the things he is too small to accomplish right now, but in the meantime she enjoys the exploration of her world with her mum close by. Using the refrain ‘And as I learn, my mum is there’, we see the satisfaction and contentment demonstrated by the close relationship between mother and child.

This title and My Dad Will Do by the same team have strong messages conveyed in soft images replete with cosy interiors and colourful outdoor scenes. Wacky Bee Books is a new publisher to watch.
