Book for the mums – Kayla’s Girls

Finalist IAN Book of the Year Award 2022

A spin off from the It’s A Kid’s Life series – but this one if for mum’s eyes only!

Amber Clayton’s limited experience of a mum’s night out consists of a Christmas get-together last year, where she spent the night mingling with imposter syndrome as she sipped her obligatory glass of Prosecco.

That is, until she meets Kayla.

An instant connection leads to a friendship that Amber thought she’d only ever witness vicariously through her job ghost-writing autobiographies. Their close bond leads Amber to learn more about Kayla than some of her oldest friends, but nothing prepares her for how valuable that information will turn out to be.

A lovely bookmark can really add to the reading experience. Seeing one of my son’s reaction to one that I made him to encourage him with his reading inspired me to create a range for children and adults. They are wood burnt through both laser engraving and pyrography. Take a look at the range here and see if there is one you connect with.
