SHAPPI KHORSANDI ''Brilliant . . . Made me feel less alone.'' 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.''

Hello, Mum is her visual diary of the magical highs and absurd lows that many parents will recognise - from the shock and awe of the baby days to the delight (and terror) of the toddler years and the mayhem of sibling rivalry. Dunbar''s fantastically funny, wise and enchanting drawings capture this precious and fleeting time with heart-touching perfection.

A Lion Is a Lion

release date: Apr 24, 2018
A Lion Is a Lion
Is a lion still a lion if he wears a hat? With whimsical illustrations and a nod to earlier classics, Polly Dunbar celebrates the shrewd mind of a child — and the power of saying no. Is a lion still a lion . . . if he skips down the street singing “Hoobie-doobie-doo"? Dapper in his hat and flourishing a cane, a very large lion invites himself inside, inquires about Auntie Sue, and spins the two children of the house around the room in a silly dance. He doesn’t mind at all if they invite him to lunch, where he gobbles up all his greens and devours the plate, too. When he leans in to ask for dessert, his sharp teeth gleam oh so pearly white, and it seems very possible that he may just bite. . . . Surely it’s time to go-go-go — until, that is, the brave little girl finds her voice in a most satisfying way. The Cat in the Hat meets Pierre meets The Tiger Who Came to Tea in this rollicking story with an exhilarating ending.
