LAMONT STANDING ORDER PRIMARY FICTION BOOK OF THE MONTH - JULY 2014!


This is truly a gorgeous book. Sally Murphy has written a beautiful story of a young girl’s struggle when her Mum is badly injured in car accident.


Amber has moved schools after her Mum’s accident and she’s not sure how her new friends will react to her Mum being in a wheelchair.

With Mother’s Day approaching, Amber’s teacher decides to hold a morning tea for all the mothers. But will Amber’s Mum be able to come? And will the other kids laugh at her?

Heart-warming, sensitive and full of love and friendship, this story will be enjoyed by girls in Grade 4 and up.
