Mums Are Magnificent
A celebration of mums with joyful and traditional illustrations by Dawn Lo.
Mums are SPECIAL. Mums are UNIQUE.
They can play let's pretend . . .
. . . and be your best friend.
They can be pilots of planes
Or drivers of trains.
All mums are DIFFERENT, MAGIC . . . and MAGNIFICENT!
Mums Are Magnificent champions the diverse nature of mums and uplifts and celebrates ALL types of mums everywhere – the perfect present to mark the arrival of a new baby or to give to that very special mum on Mother’s Day.
Just like I Love My Mummy by Giles Andreae and Emma Dodd, With My Mummy by James Brown and Cally Johnson-Isaacs, and My Mum by Anthony Browne, Mums Are Magnificent is a tender exploration of the love between mother and child.

Reviews
“Destined to become a Mother’s Day classic like Anthony Browne’s My Mum and I Love My Mummy by Giles Andreae, Philip and Lo’s delightful picture book pays tribute to a diverse array of mums through rhyming text and beautiful illustrations.”
“The rhyming structure of the text and Philip’s subtle sense of humour make this a delightful read-aloud book. The bright and colourful illustrations by Dawn Lo support the upbeat and celebratory feel perfectly. A wonderfully inclusive book that celebrates all types of mums everywhere!”
“Mums Are Magnificent is a fantastic book for Mother’s Day 2022.”
“The beautifully lilting – yet lively – rhythms and rhymes, the quirky descriptions of equally quirky mums, accompanied by Dawn Lo’s joyful illustrations, ensure that both reader and listener share the delight of frequent readings… Such is the quality of this book that it offers discussion opportunities to explore, relish, and appreciate the diversity, individuality, and superhero qualities of everyone’s mum.”
