ELLIE TAYLOR

''A beautiful gift of a book . . . had me howling and tearing up!''
GIOVANNA FLETCHER

SHAPPI KHORSANDI

JOSIE LONG

Fantastically funny, wise and charming motherhood sketches from award-winning illustrator Polly Dunbar.

''Go away, I''m busy writing about the beauty of motherhood.''

Polly Dunbar is an award-winning illustrator who usually draws for children rather than adults, but when she had her own sons, she started recording the beautiful and maddening moments of parenthood with a doodle.

Hello, Mum is her visual diary of the magical highs and absurd lows that many parents will recognise from the shock and awe
