Product description

A beautiful, moving celebration of what it truly means to be family, from the brilliant new picture book duo Patrice Lawrence and Diane Ewen.
‘A lively, heartfelt picture book celebrating mixed heritage’ Guardian ‘Best New Picture Books’

‘A must have for all book shelves and libraries’ Dapo Adeola
Every family is different. Every family is special.
Josie loves her family. Her mum, dad, brothers and sister – they’re all the best and they all look different.
But people always seem to ask Josie “Is that YOUR mama?”, and soon she starts to wonder if her family are actually supposed to look the same.
When Josie shares her worries with her family, they find a way to help her see what truly matters.


  • Heartfelt and empowering words by Patrice Lawrence, multi-award-winning author of Orangeboy
  • Bright, gorgeous artwork from Diane Ewen, winner of the Jericho Prize and The Queen’s Knickers Awards, 2021

More praise for Is That YOUR Mama:
