BOOK REVIEW

SOMETIMES MUM HAS THUNDER IN HER HEAD

Author: Beatriz Taboada From the reader report by: Suky Taylor

The story would be very suitable for the contemporary market in English-language children’s literature, and I think is a particularly good example of the sort of educational and enjoyable book that publishers would be keen to promote in the current climate. I also think that it could be relevant to all families, while addressing something that can amount a very serious issue, or also be something that all children and parents experience sometimes in daily life. There is currently a good demand for books like this one on the English-language market, and already plenty of support for the promotion of resources for children in issues of mental health, and this book seems a particularly effective way to transmit an important message.

Author’s biography: Beatriz Taboada (Zaragoza) has lived in Madrid for years. She has a degree in Social Work and works as an administrator but, while visiting bookstores with her children, she rediscovered children’s and youth literature - although they always asked her for “made up stories”. Maybe that’s why she decided to make the leap to writing ... “Sometimes Mum has Thunder in Her Head” is her first title published with Algar.

Synopsis: Sometime Mum has thunder in her head: she talks loudly and through clenched teeth. Sometimes she has clouds in her head: she forgets to make lunch and takes us to birthday parties late. And at other times she has a rainbow in her head: she sings at night and kisses me a lot. Could I also have thunder, clouds and rainbows in my head? A story that helps us to understand how emotions work, and how to enjoy them.
