Celebrate the special bond between fun-loving mums and their lucky kids in this tribute from the bestselling creators behind Because I'm Your Dad, Ahmet Zappa and Dan Santat.

What's the best kind of mum? The kind of mum who lets you have nachos for breakfast, goes skateboarding with you at the beach, and does the dinosaur dance with you under the full moon. But best of all, she kisses away your "owies", wishes upon a shooting star for you, and loves you always... for exactly who you are.

Ahmet Zappa, son of legendary rock star Frank Zappa, was inspired by his own wife and son to write this ode to mums everywhere and the unique bonds they have with their kids—perfect for Mother's Day and all year round.

About the Author

Ahmet Zappa is a New York Times bestselling author, musician, film producer, screenwriter, and radio talk show host. His first picture book, Because I'm Your Dad, is both a tribute to his happy childhood as the son of Gail and legendary rock star Frank Zappa, and a promise of love to his daughter, Halo. Zappa's second book in this series, Because I'm Your Mom, is inspired by his wife, Shana, and their son, Arrow. Zappa grew up with a learning disability and now writes books to help children discover how wonderful reading can be. He lives in Los Angeles and loves pancakes, heavy metal, and all five of his smushy-faced dogs.

Dan Santat is the Caldecott Medal-winning and New York Times bestselling author and illustrator of The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend, Are We There Yet?, and After the Fall, as well as the graphic novels Sidekicks and The Aquanaut. He is the illustrator of many other picture books, including Because I'm Your Mom by Ahmet Zappa, Drawn Together and Lift by Minh Le, The Alphabet's Alphabet by Chris Harris, No More Poems! by Rhett Miller, and the Crankenstein series by Samantha Berger. Dan lives in Southern California with his wife, two kids, and various pets. He invites you to visit him at dansantatbooks.com, or on Twitter and Instagram at @dsantat.
