Hello, Mum

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 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.

Polly Dunbar is known for her bestselling picture books, including Tilly and Friends, which is now a CBeebies animation and the multi-award-winning Penguin. She has also worked with author David Almond on the critically acclaimed The Boy Who Climbed Into The Moon. Her illustrations are loved for their quirkiness, charm, humour and warmth, and her books are favourites in households across the world.
