A young girl speculates on what life would be like with more than the usual allocation of mothers. If I had a hundred mummies They would have to form a queue To give me goodnight kisses, Blow my nose and tie my shoes.
Designed for OutforOurChildren, a parenting group for lesbian feminists, this picture book is meant to be read aloud with early readers and their friends. Colourful pictures on every page show a young narrator who already knows an awful lot. Here, they go to the seaside, remember and read lots and lots of books. Until, finally sleep changes one little girl’s wish.
