About this ebook
She says 'I've worked so hard for years and I deserve a rest!'
As she scribbles with crayons and pours custard down her dress,
She's dangling from the banister with her head upside-down!
Does your Mum do this?
Help! My Mum's growing DOWN!
From one of the UK's leading performance poets, this collection celebrates the very best types of mum - as seen through the eyes of a nine year old, including mum as gamer, party animal, slob and free spirit. Inspired by Laura Dockrill's own experiences of motherhood, they will make you laugh and rejoice at the wonder of all mums.
