MY MUM'S

A BUG-EYED

MONSTER

PostCardFront.png

Mums come in all shapes and sizes, but there’s never been a mum quite like this. With boggly eyes and arms like a gorilla’s, she can pull up tiny trees and terrifies teachers in the playground. So when she heads into school for sports day, an afternoon of monster mayhem begins. 

“My Mum’s a Bug-Eyed Monster” is the debut picture book for writer and illustrator team Andy Rigden and Jim Landen. A funny, warm-hearted story about feeling different and the unstoppable power of mums, it’s published by Tiny Tree on World Book Day, 2019: March 7th.

It brought back

Andy and Jim first met in an advertising agency. They spent many years working together as a creative team, thinking up stories when they should have been designing and writing adverts. This is their first children’s book. 

Andy writes the words. Jim’s draws the illustrations. And they both come up with ideas.
