BABY SAYS MAMA - Coming Feb 2026

Can Baby say, “Mama”?
Might this be the day?
Mama hopes it might be…

“What can Baby say?”

I am so delighted that BABY SAYS MAMA is finally publishing! We've taken our time to get it just right, and the result is so worth it. Walker Books have done an incredible job with this one. Mocculere's illustrations are so full of love and warmth and the design is gorgeous. I'm not sure how easy it will be to get hold of in Canada just yet; if you're in North America and hoping to buy a copy, you may have to source one from the UK. Here's the blurb...

'Baby and Mama are busy every day! Whether they’re saying hello to squirrels in the park or having lunch in the café, Baby has a lot of sounds to make – Ba! Om! Waa! But Baby hasn’t yet said that delicious, most-coveted word … the one word that every mother loves to hear: “Mama”.

In this heartfelt picture book, Baby moves through the world, finding his way to “Mama” through his own exploration of the spoken word. With delightfully cosy illustrations by Mojca Novak, award-winning author Michelle Robinson paints a tender picture of daily life for a mother and baby.'
