Mommies

Challenging the conventional views of motherhood that reduce moms to a rule-bound gendered identity and role, Mommies will encourage readers to explore and question their own as well as larger social norms.

Richa Jha delivers a strong statement through the simplicity of children’s voices, presenting a kaleidoscope of vastly different mothers who don’t fit the stereotypical narratives of motherhood. Priya Sebastian’s bold, charcoal-etched images infuse the simple narrative with an arresting depth to capture the diverse beauty of each portrayal.
