The Illustrated Mum by Jacqueline Wilson5/30/2023 Wilson's books are life-lines for children suffering with the same issues as her characters, giving them encouragement and telling them it will be ok. Her characters jump off the page at you, and are so appealing that you just can't help but fall in love with them. She tackles tricky subjects with honesty, compassion and huge emotional complexity. Although she had a conventional and happy upbringing Wilson has an amazing ability to enter the heads of children in tough situations and really sympathise with their issues, worries and concerns. Jacqueline Wilson has always tackled tough, and you might even say taboo, subjects in her literature for children adoption, loss, broken families and mental health issues being just a few. There is nothing of the traditional mum about Marigold! But there's something else you need to know about Marigold, she has bipolar disorder. Marigold is no ordinary mum, she's creative, covered in tattoos, likes to party, and dresses like a teenage girl. The Illustrated Mum is a story about two sisters Star and Dolphin, and their mum Marigold.
