"Some Mums (are Fat Molls)" is a funny, filthy and feisty new book by Australian comedian & author Nelly Thomas. A stunning picture book illustrated by Cat MacInnes, "Some Mums" is an alternative to the saccharine, judgemental and unrealistic books that are usually served up to mothers. "Some Mums" is the kind of book Nelly wishes she'd been given when she became a mum. It starts from the premise that mothers are grown-up human adults who are entitled to individuation, affirmation, adult content and some FUN. And it offers a giant STUFF YOU to anyone who ever made you feel not good enough.
