The Illustrated Mum by Jacqueline Wilson
The book centers around two sisters living with their unconventional and unpredictable mother, whose body is adorned with vivid tattoos, each telling a story from her past. The narrative, told from the perspective of the younger daughter, delves into the challenges of coping with their mother's mental health issues and the impact it has on their lives. As the mother's condition worsens, the girls are forced to confront the reality of their situation and the possibility of seeking help and a more stable environment, all while exploring themes of family, resilience, and the bond between siblings.
