The Mosaic

One day, Mum’s vase breaks, and everything changes. All of a sudden, Frankie’s Dad doesn’t live at home anymore, and Nana has come to stay for a while. Frankie’s life has broken apart just like the vase, and she feels upset and lost. Then Nana has an idea…

Full of expressive, colourful illustrations, The Mosaic is an optimistic story about parental separation and the healing power of art. Little readers will delight in following Nana and Frankie as they go on an adventure and find an unexpected source of hope and inspiration.

The Mosaic offers a fresh perspective, focusing on the good that can come from change and giving children comfort in a time of grief and uncertainty. The story was inspired by the author’s conversations with her own children. It is a story that will help children going through difficult changes to find hope, resilience and joy.

It aims to offer hope to children who haven’t yet found their place in life by showing them that being ‘normal’ might just be overrated, and that to find success in life we should be valuing our differences.
