My mum is the best by Nic McPickle and Tommy Doyle

My mum is a Super Mum, the best I've ever known.
She loves her trackies and her uggs, her coffee and her phone.

Is it just my mum? Or is it other mums too?
Does your mum say this stuff to you?

In this joyful, picturesque celebration of mothers, Nic McPickle and Tommy Doyle once again team up to help our youngest readers really appreciate their mums no matter who they are and what they like. Because no matter what they look like, how they sound, what they do or where they live, mums are mums everywhere. They even say the same things like, "Have you got a jumper? Do you need a snack? If you got it out, then you can put it back." But even if the "nagging" is universal, then so is the love..."You are caring and smart, You are funny and tough. You love me so well that I know I'm enough."

Just as My Dad is the Best shone the spotlight on fathers and all the little things they do to show their love for their child, so does this make the invisible, visible as mothers go about their day. With Mother's Day on May 11 this year, this could be the opportunity to encourage little ones to really focus on all those things their mothers do to ensure they are safe and loved so it might be fun to share the special thing each child's mum does and make a Love you, Mum display and cards for a just-because day.
