A warm and funny story about a family where the young son is sure his mum is a fierce lioness! From award-winning author, Swapna Haddow and bestselling artist, Dapo Adeola.
Swapna Haddow trained as a doctor, but after discovering she didn't
like blood, decided on a career change and wrote her first book
Dave Pigeon: How to Deal With Bad Cats and Keep (most of) Your
Feathers, which won the Greenhouse Funny Prize. Swapna now lives in
New Zealand with her husband, their son and their dog. You can
usually find Swapna writing, reading or eating Jaffa Cakes.
Sometimes you might find her doing all three at the same time.
Dapo Adeola is a young illustrator and character designer who is
new to the picture book world. His first book, Look Up! was written
by Nathan Bryon and published by Puffin in June 2019 to great
acclaim. Born in Britain and of Nigerian heritage, Dapo's work
tends to revolve around creating characters and imagery that
challenge gender norms and equality politics in a fun and upbeat
manner.
“Mighty,” “imaginative,” “proud,” and “tireless” all describe a
mother as a lioness in Haddow and Adeola’s latest, a playful
follow-up to My Dad Is a Grizzly Bear.
