‘I’ve worked so hard for years and I deserve a rest!’ she says, 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! SHORTLISTED for the Scholastic Lollies Awards, My Mum Is A Grown Down is a larger-than-life collection of poems for a middle grade audience about one wild, hysterical and hilarious Mum – a gamer, a party animal and a free spirit who makes life hard work for her nine-year-old son. Bold, brave, funny and sometimes deeply moving, these poems offer a glimpse into their parent-child relationship, its antics and its adventures, showing just how funny, rude and naughty mums can be. It’s Dahl meets Dr Seuss meets Colin McNaughton, with a sprinkling of Absolutely Fabulous. ‘The most entertaining poetry collection since Spike Milligan’s Silly Verse for Kids.’ The i ‘A rollicking, rib tickling collection of poems.’ Carousel ‘A joyous book.’ WRD ‘Vibrant, hilarious and touching book of well-crafted and original poems. A truly lovely book.’ BookTrust ‘Individuality and eccentricity is expressed through engaging verse.’ The School Librarian
