This colourful, beautifully illustrated picture book delivers a deeply thoughtful and essential message to its young readers. With Mother’s Day fast approaching, the high street shops are overflowing with gifts. However, the young girl at the heart of this story only has enough pocket money for a card – subtly teaching children that it isn’t about how much you spend, but the love and thought that counts.

When she begins her search, she gives it a great deal of consideration. She reflects on what her mum looks like and the unique things she does that reflect their rich cultural heritage. Heartbreakingly, she cannot find a single card that mirrors her own mother.

Beyond celebrating the beautiful, enduring bond between a mother and daughter, this poignant story raises vital questions about belonging, inclusion and representation in arts and society – every child deserves to see their family reflected on the shelves. This is a heartwarming, culturally rich book which will could also spark meaningful conversations about diversity and love.
