A Better Mom

Albert wants to swap his mum — his current one just won't do.
But WHO should replace her?

 

 

"Barely back from school, and she's already at it. Albert, take your shoes off! Albert, hang your coat in the wardrobe! Albert, go and do your homework! This simply cannot go on. It's high time to find a new mum.

There's always…
Natacha, the neighbour from across the landing — she's a real adventurer, always on the go! BUT Albert doesn't like mosquitoes, and even less the idea of being far from home. What about Marie-Sophie, the baker? She's ever so kind to Albert, always slipping him a sweet treat. BUT sweets give you a tummy ache, and Albert can't stand feeling poorly. Hmm… Why not Anna, Mum's friend? Anna does sport all the time, in all weathers. BUT Albert is a bit of a
lazybones. He'd much rather watch cartoons than run a timed race. Maybe his own mum isn't so bad after all...

• A wonderfully funny story that will resonate with everyone — who hasn't wanted a new mum at some point?
• A series of portraits of women who are freespirited, generous, ambitious, and thoroughly modern.
• A brilliant Mother's Day gift!
