While there may be many styles of motherhood, its spirit is timeless. A mother’s work may never be finished, but there is plenty to cherish along the way.

This bold, bright and celebratory book begins with space to write a message to the mother figure in your life. You’ll also find practical advice for mums on how to prioritise their own wellbeing, and an appreciation of all that our wonderful mothers do for us.

Discover: how Mother’s Day first began, the stories of some of history’s most incredible mothers – from formidable first-century regent Julia Agrippina to world-leading chemist and single mother Marie Curie; how the animal kingdom looks after its young (and why you wouldn’t want to be a sea otter mum); and that “baby brain” and a mother’s super-human strength are real!
