The Illustrated Mum

Marigold started going weird again on her birthday.

I think Marigold's the most bright, beautiful mum in the world. She's totally covered in tattoos - she had a new one done for her birthday. Most people think she's a dreadful mother. Even my big sister gets cross when she forgets to buy food or pay the bills. But I know Marigold loves us and she never means to stay out all night and leave us on our own.

I wish she wouldn't, though. It's so scary.

In this moving story, award-winning author Jacqueline Wilson creates another of her classic resourceful heroines.
