Our Mothers’ Names
Author: Uma MenonIllustrator: Rahele Jomepour BellIn this delightful picture book, a young bilingual girl with Indian heritage begins questioning why she calls her mother ‘Amma’. Living in a multi-cultural community, with friends from all around the world, she begins to realise how many different words there are, including ‘Ommi’ in Arabic and ‘Okaasan’ in Japanese. A stunning tribute to motherly love, no matter what language you speak.
