Praise for My Mum

Each spread is a perfectly conceived whole, each picture demanding endless scrutiny . . . Original, unexpected, funny and typically Browne

Julia Eccleshare, Guardian

The pictures are a delight, an easy fusion of the ordinary with the surreal, painted with clear-eyed detail. Very witty, very true. Small children will love Mum, and so will parents

Sally Williams, Independent

It is full of caprice and oddity and wit

Kate Kellaway, Observer

A minimal text and simple, bold, and colourful pictures puts mothers all over the world on the pedestal that they surely deserve to be on

Through the Looking Glass

A joy of a book, a celebration of mums everywhere
