Mama Honey'sWhere feelings come out to play
Funny, heartfelt picture books about feelings, mistakes, and being kind to ourselves, for every kind of family and every kind of brain.
Our first book
A heartwarming social-emotional story for children, and their perfectly imperfect carers.
Written and illustrated by Hannah Johnson
Every oops in this book really happened. More than once.
Printed on demand and posted to you by IngramSpark. Prices at other bookshops may vary.
A heartwarming, relatable story about a child who adores their perfectly imperfect mum, burnt dinners, pink socks, keys on the car roof, and all.
Written by a fellow parent who's still learning each day, it celebrates mistakes, self-compassion, and the beauty of trying, even when things feel frustrating, scary, or tough.
Such a cute and insightful read. A subtle reminder to parents that when they are their child's biggest role model, champion and friend.
This is the most heart-warming book! Thank you for making the mums who sometimes make mistakes feel seen. This book had me laughing and crying throughout!
Funny, sweet and honest. My grandchildren love it (and so do I)!
Such a beautiful book! It's one of those treasures that parents and kids will love and learn from. Highly recommend!
Rhyming, read-aloud fun with a gentle message for grown-ups too.

Every single oops in I Love My Clumsy Mumsy really happened to me. Most of them more than once. (Yes, even the boot. On a rainy day.) The book left out the time I drove to work with my eggs on toast still on the car roof.
When I'm not losing my keys (or my phone, while it's in my hand), I'm a registered psychologist from the Illawarra, NSW, working with children, young people, and families in schools.
I'm also trained in play therapy, because play is how children naturally explore, express their feelings, and connect with the grown-ups around them. That's why this is a playroom: a safe, joyful place to do exactly that, where my professional world meets the one covered in paint and squashed snacks.
I also have a busy, buzzing brain. It's brilliant for big ideas, deep dives, and noticing the little things, and less brilliant for remembering why I walked into the kitchen.
Here are some reasons why I do what I do:
My books are written for two readers at once: the child snuggled on your lap, and you. If you close one of my books feeling a little lighter about your own oopsies, my job is done.
