Reviews

  • "Each spread is a perfectly conceived whole, each picture demanding endless scrutiny . . . Original, unexpected, funny and typically Browne"

    Julia Eccleshare, Guardian

  • "The pictures are a delight, an easy fusion of the ordinary with the surreal, painted with clear-eyed detail. Very witty, very true. Small children will love Mum, and so will parents"

    Sally Williams, Independent

  • "It is full of caprice and oddity and wit"

    Kate Kellaway, Observer

  • "A minimal text and simple, bold, and colourful pictures puts mothers all over the world on the pedestal that they surely deserve to be on"

    Through the Looking Glass

  • "A joy of a book, a celebration of mums everywhere"
