Jonathan Chester & Patrick Regan's My Unflappable Mum is a loving tribute to the most rare of birds-the incredible unflappable mum." Chester's striking & intimate nature photographs of tuxedoed penguins & their young beautifully illustrate Regan's charming verse that honours those incredible unflappable mums who nurture & instil a spirit of adventure & independence in their young. While it's a mum's job to be ever watchful fiercely protective & deeply engaged in her children's lives it's also a mum's job to let go-to send her young into the big scary world-whether that means walking away without looking back on the first day nursery or nudging them gently out of the nest as young adults.
