Mother's Day

A book for mum, where she and the child are in the story

For Mother's Day: a story where mum and the child are in the same adventure. A photo of the two of them and a few words about what they like doing is all it takes, and the present becomes a book read together long after the day itself.

Let the story be about what mum and the child do together: baking, picking flowers, reading in the hammock, or setting off on an adventure under the sea. The pictures are drawn from photos of the two of them, and the text is written to suit the child's age.

Themes for Mother's Day

Choose the Mother's Day theme, baking or fairies.
