An original illustrated "diary" on motherhood by the award-winning English illustrator Polly Dunbar: with humor, honesty, and tenderness, it captures the joy as well as the exhaustion and anxiety that every mother feels as her child grows.
"I've been writing and illustrating children's books since I graduated from art school, but I never thought to paint something for adults until I had my children. I didn't want all those hilarious and beautiful moments of their childhood to be lost as if swept away by the wind. I felt that the only way to capture them was through hasty sketches, something like a picture diary, if you will. These sketches were mostly done incredibly early in the morning, with a coffee in one hand, my sketchbook on my lap, with the boys climbing on me and 'borrowing' my pencils."
I hope that, aside from the complete exhaustion and absolute chaos that characterize motherhood, I was able to depict a part of the magic of this entire period.
A tender reading experience that strengthens the parent–child relationship. Through simple phrases and expressive images, it will help your child recognize and express their feelings, while you will be reminded of the power of maternal presence and acceptance.
“A book that every mom will recognize, and every child will feel is their own.”
– BookTrust UK
“Simple, touching, and true. It speaks about the most important thing in the world: connection.”
"I don't want to talk to you. I just want you to hold me. I want you to know that I am here."
"Hi, mom. And thank you for always being there."
Polly Dunbar is an award-winning author and illustrator of children's books, known for the sensitivity and poetry in her writing. In “Hello, Mum”, she uses simplicity to express the deepest needs of the child – and the quietest acts of a mother's love.
