Maisie's Scrapbook cover

A joyous celebration of being part of a multicultural family

Maisie's 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.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.

“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


“When my four-year-old granddaughter spotted it, she exclaimed ‘That’s me and my mummy and daddy!”
