My Mum is a Bird is a true 3-in-1 picture book — beautiful storytelling, free teacher notes, and fun family activities (including a Mother’s Day card!).
A gentle GEM theme—gratitude, empathy & mindfulness— celebrates confidence and diversity.
I’m just over the moon that My Mum is a Bird has been highly commended in the 2026 Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards!
@UQPbooks
If you feel like giving it a boost, please vote my debut for People’s Choice Award! Appreciate it!

My Mum is a Bird by @angiecuiwrites
& Evie Barrow highlights mums who don't fit the mould. With the mum depicted as a literal bird via Barrow's vibrant hand-drawn illustrations, this is an fun & quirky metaphorical tale. A great 'mum book' choice for something a bit different!
