Out of sight does not mean out of mind in this touching tribute to working mums and the sacrifices they make for their child.

Refreshingly honest it will have you weeping with laughter and prepare you for parenthood's less glamorous truths. 5. Minus Nine to One: The Diary of an Honest Mum, by Jools Oliver But eventually the whole juggle will involve one too many balls, the whole thing will topple and she needs her loved ones to help her get things straight again. This board books takes the spirit of Dahl’s work and way with words, paring it with some of Blake’s illustrations for a phizz-whizzing celebration of all mothers do.There’s a wry humour to this story about a boy testing out his theory that his mum has superpowers and X-ray vision, with a clever twist that takes the reader by surprise. Reading in pregnancy is a great way to relax and prepare yourself for the arrival of your little one. It's also the last time you're likely to have much 'me-time' for a while, so we recommend you make the most of it.

Rebecca's book is an empowering and non-judgemental guide to pregnancy, birth and the few weeks beyond. It lays out all of your options clearly and in an easily accessible way. She has a warm, comforting tone of voice which cuts through the endless advice and noise. Believe the hype. Not much of a book worm? Who wouldn’t want to grow up to be just like Mummy? She’s practical, creative and adventurous – but totally down to Earth in this story too. It covers all the basics of the mum species – from their different names around the world to the many ways to be one – along with a breakdown of the special likes, dislikes and natural habitats of different ‘types’ (like Chatty, Sporty and Zen).Selfish Mother's amazing support for Tommy's with her Good Tees might make us a little biased, but regardless of the fact she is one of our personal favourites, 'The Mother Book' is a reassuring read for mums-to-be. It will remind you that you're not alone, and that the ups and downs of pregnancy and parenthood are felt by women everywhere. 7. What Every Parent Needs to Know, by Dr Margot Sunderland When the child sees “red, red, RED!”, the patient mummy surrounds them with love and teaches them to take a deep breath and count to ten instead. As the title suggests, this book is positive with a capital P. Milli is all about choice and helping mums to look beyond the way birth is shown on TV and think about what they want... what they really, really want. She has a great way of taking the thing we're all scared of ( labour) and turning it into something to be excited about. Inspiring stuff. 9. Dare to Dream: My Struggle to Become a Mum, by Izzy Judd
Mums know it can be exhausting carry the load alone – mentally as well as physically – and this beautiful story does a sensitive job of explaining why some days they need a little TLC. One day a little girl notices her eyes are different from her friends. Theirs are round with long eyelashes but hers kiss in the corners and crinkle into crescent moons. After all, mums aren’t just kind, bold and brave – they gloriumptious, ferocious and very good at chasing away rotsome beasts! If you have a child who suffers with separation anxiety or has a tendency to worry, this classic bedtime book about three fearful owls is the ideal way to alleviate it. The legendary Shirley Hughes is one of the great observers of children and their families, as her much-loved Alfie stories and award-winning Dogger testify. And she puts the same realistic but tender touch to this simple book about all the things a little girl loves about spending time with her mum.
