Overview

Noor had a plan. Three steps. Perfect. Completely, entirely, absolutely perfect. Step 1: Breakfast in bed for Mama. Step 2: A drawing. The best one she had ever made. Step 3: A quiet story on Mama's lap. Just the two of them. Baby Zayd did not know about the plan. Baby Zayd cried through breakfast. Baby Zayd took up every centimetre of Mama's lap. Baby Zayd, who is six months old and has no idea what a plan even is, ruined every single step. So Noor sat on the rug. Gold star sunglasses pushed down over her eyes. And even though the room was completely full of people, it felt as empty as a dark cave. This is the feeling this book is about. Not the baby. Not the plan. This feeling - right here - that nobody talks about. Mama Was All Mine is a tender, funny, completely honest picture book about sibling adjustment, big feelings, and the moment a child discovers that sharing the person you love most doesn't mean losing them.
