A Little Wombat story about how Mum is always there for him, especially when he needs her. Now in paperback!
Little Wombat loves his mum because she encourages him to bravely explore the world around him, and she is always there to comfort him when he's sad or pick him up when he falls. You're The Best, Mum! is a celebration of the special bond between mother and child from a beloved picture book creator.
Charles Fuge was born in 1966 and was brought up in Bath where a fanatical interest in wildlife translated into the drawing of animals. Once at Camberwell School of Art, he won the Macmillan Prize in 1988 for Bush Vark's First Day Out, which won the Mother Goose Award the following year. And a career in children's book illustration began. He has since illustrated a raft of picture books including Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball which was runner-up for the Kate Greenaway Medal 2001. Since then Charles has illustrated many books, a number of which he has also written. His Little Wombat series has garnered international recognition for its warm and humorous depiction of an iconic marsupial.
