What is this about?
This is a bedtime story about mums who may not be able to make it home in time for bedtime, because they are working or doing other things mums do — but they always come home.
What else is this about?
Exactly as above
Blurb
Mums can be busy . . . but they’ll always be home to kiss you goodnight!
A heartwarming hug of a bedtime story for every Australian family with a busy mum.
Mums with many things to do
All miss their little ones, like you,
But every night the moon shines bright
And guides them home to say goodnight.
Moonlight Mums is an adorable picture book that starts with a father reading a bedtime story to a young girl in bed.
Dad proceeds to tell his little girl that her mum misses her, and that she misses her — much like the owl they hear flying outside at bedtime.
From the mother owl taking care of her owlets, to a mother frog who is keeping her tadpoles well fed, and a mother wombat who is digging a bigger burrow for her joey, the dad relates what these busy mums do.
Just like his wife too <3
And, the Dad reminds his daughter that just like the wombat who will return home, and the Mother Frog who will sing to her children and Mother Owl who is keeping her owlets snug and warm, so will Mummy come home and kiss her goodnight.
Utterly, completely adorable!
I love that it’s a dad telling his daughter this story, and second, that it’s about a mum coming home from work to her daughter. When I saw this title, I realised in all the baby books and picture books in my life recently, I really haven’t seen anything like this before.
This looks super adorable! 😍
