Mummies Are Lovely.jpg

Meredith Costain's new picture book

April 6, 2016

Congrats to Meredith Costain on the international publication of

Mummies are Lovely

Illustrated by Polona Lovsin

Published by Koala Books/Scholastic, in hardback

For ages 2+

Mummies are magic
they kiss away troubles,
find gold in the sunlight
and rainbows in bubbles

A rhyming picture book about the special bond between mothers and their children.

To be published in the US and Canada by Henry Holt (Macmillan US) under the title Mommies are Amazing.
Sounds as though it's going to be a huge hit - great stuff Meredith!
