Maisie's Scrapbook
By Samuel Narh (Author) and Jo Loring-Fisher (Illustrator)
Winner Northern Lights Book Awards Family category
As the seasons turn, Maisie rides her bull in and out of Dada’s tall tales. Her Mama wears linen and plays the viola. Her Dada wears kente cloth and plays the marimba. They come from different places, but they hug her in the same way. And most of all, they love her just the same. A joyful celebration of a mixed-race family and the love that binds us all together.
'When my four year old granddaughter spotted it, she exclaimed "That’s me and my mummy and daddy"!' – The Letterpress Project
'We found a kindred spirit in Maisie. She will make a generation of mixed kids feel more visible' – The Tiger Tales
'Opens a window into what it can look and feel like to grow up in a biracial, multinational family that’s rich in story' – Kirkus Reviews, STARRED
