Hello, Mum is my first book for grown-ups. It's a visual diary of motherhood that started out as daily posts on instagram. The drawings come straight the sketchbook dairy I kept when my two boys were small. Hopefully it its both funny and honest, capturing a time that is fleeting yet feels like forever. Hello, Mum is published by Faber and Faber.
