Sisters Ruby and Junie squabble all day long. Whilst Mummy is trying to enjoy her breakfast coffee there's a soundtrack of teasing, then her morning work out is interrupted by a big row as the girls refuse to share their pencils. "You two are acting like cheeky monsters!" Mummy exclaims. "What if I were a monster all day?"
And just like that, Mummy transforms into a MUMMY MONSTER! If you thought the girls’ behaviour was bad, it’s nothing compared to what the Mummy Monster can do. She gobbles up all the snacks without sharing, ruins the girls’ favourite clothes, and causes chaos everywhere she goes. Ruby and Junie are not impressed, so they come up with a clever plan to get their nice, sweet Mummy back.
Rochelle Falconer’s debut picture book is a riot of colour and fun, exploring family life, sibling rivalry, and the hilarious consequences of a mummy turned monster. It’s sure to become a favourite on nursery bookshelves.
Junie and Ruby bicker all day. They bicker over breakfast, about clothes, and even over a pencil they find on the floor. They are so busy bickering they don't notice that Mummy is acting differently . . . she's huffing, she's puffing, and she's sprouting FUR!

When Mummy becomes the cheeky Mummy Monster, Junie and Ruby get a taste of their own medicine. They need to find a way to turn their Mummy back to normal . . . and to do that, they must put their differences aside.
Rochelle Falconer's debut picture book is a relatable story about family life, sibling rivalry, and mischievous mums with lots of humour and plenty of heart.
Rochelle Falconer was born in Jamaica but grew up in Birmingham, the oldest of six kids, raised by her single mum. As a teenager her head was always in a book. She loved to write – and at school the art department was where she felt most at home. Rochelle studied graphic design – and has worked for various design agencies as well as the gaming industry. It wasn’t until she took a break to raise a family, that she rediscovered picture books. Combining her early passion for writing and her love of drawing, Rochelle now spends her time creating characters she would love to see represented in picture books, and dreaming up their stories.
How To Tame a Mummy Monster is Rochelle’s debut authored book, published by Oxford University Press.
