dear mum

by Julia Morris

In this wonderful collection of letters from celebrities to their mothers, Australian sporting stars, musicians, models, cooks and famous authors reveal what they would like to say to their mothers before it's too late, or would have said if only they'd had the chance.

From Anna Meares to Mike Munro, Peter FitzSimons to Kathy Lette, Di Morrissey to Anna Funder, Kasey Chambers to Gretel Killeen, Australian personalities celebrate their mothers in a unique and heart-warming way. With letters ranging from the deeply moving to the downright hilarious, the quirky to the sentimental, we are offered a rare insight into the personal lives of our favourite celebrities and the special relationship they have with their mother.

All royalties go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

This is a lovely book of letters of celebs from various pursuits to their mothers. If you're looking for a book gift for Mother's Day go no further. Especially as you can add your very own letter to the collection at the end which is probably my fav part of the book. I enjoyed Anna Funder's letter immensely as well as Sara Foster's, Rob Hirst's, Catriona Rowntree's, Corinne Grant's, Reg Mombassa's and Pippa Grandson's. Jimmy Rees (aka Jimmy Giggle) was a delightful inclusion. So if you pause from taking selfies for a minute and want to really donate to breast cancer, add this book to your collection, your Mum's collection and a few of your besties' collections. Take a selfie of you and the book instead!
