When Mum Was Little
written and illustrated by Mini Goss
Teachers notes
1.07mb PDF
My mum wasn’t always a mum.
She was little once, just like us.
That was in the olden days.
Things were different then.
When Mum Was Little takes us back to the psychedelic 70s. This delightful story, told by a child whose mum grew up in the 70s, vividly brings to life childhood memories of the period. The exquisitely detailed illustrations will appeal to children and to their mums and dads.

Reviews
Goss captures the ethos of this culture which now seems like taking a visit to an alien planet... an enormous sense of life and fun in the pages and the text adds wonderfully to this particular version of social history... for adults the illustrations... will be a nostalgia trip but for children they will evoke a sense of wonder and amazement... a must for libraries.
