Illustrated Mum

Dolphin adores her mother: she's got wonderful clothes, bright hair and vivid tattoos all over her body. She definitely lives a colourful life. Dolphin's older sister, Star, also loves her but is beginning to wonder if staying with a mum whose temper can be as flashy as her body-art is the best thing for the girls. The story of Dolphin's changing relationships, with her mother, her sister, a new friend at school and a newly discovered father, is told with all the gentle humour and strikingly true emotion that we have come to expect from Transworld's top children's author.
