You’re invited to the launch for Tough Like Mum by Lana Button

Tough Like Mum by Lana Button

Illustrated by Carmen Mok

Kim and her mum are tough. Everyone in town says so. But Kim is learning that sometimes toughness doesn't look like what you'd expect.

In this tender mother-daughter story about family hardship, vulnerability and love, Kim and her mum learn that truly being tough can mean a willingness to show vulnerability and accept help.

Lana Button is a children’s author born and raised in New Brunswick and now living in Burlington, Ontario. Tough Like Mum (Tundra Books) illustrated by Carmen Mok, is Lana’s 7th picture book. Her experience with east coast grit inspired this story.

Lana’s books have been shortlisted for awards including The Blue Spruce, The Shining Willow, the Jean Throop IODE Award and have been named Canadian Children’s Book Centre’s Best Bet.
