Mum in a Mess (hOle Book): A young girl supporting her mother through tough times | 7+ years
by Sanjana Kapur, Sanjana Kapur
Book: Mum In A Mess
Author: Sanjana Kapur
Genre: Children's Book
Publisher: Duckbill
Pages: 80
Mum In A Mess by Sanjana Kapur is a children's fiction that narrates the story of Vishi and her family. When her mother suddenly breaks the coffee jar, it's not perceived as any big deal as that's quite common in households. But what started as a usual affair didn't remain usual as her mother declared that only she would clean it up and no one would try to clean it up. And it followed up for days! What's the reason behind it? What will Vishi and her father do? Read the book to find out.
In this delightful book, the author very appealingly raises some important issues regarding mental health, well-being and the support system in the daily life of an individual, especially a mother.
Though after a point of time, the spilling of coffee looks overboard, the story helps in sensitizing not only children, but adults as well for some much-needed conversations and looking for the symptoms for the ask for help by partners or any other relations for that matter.
The illustrations by Proiti Roy complement the story very well, particularly the illustration of the "list". The innocence of the childhood friendship is beautifully captured through Vishi and Jahan.
I highly recommend this book for children ages 7+ which would help the adults to initiate the conversations around such important topics and make children understand their parents better in a fun and engaging way.
