The Selfies children's fiction winner Kate Claxton on her self publishing success

How did you find inspiration for My Mum's a Tiger?

My Mum's a Tiger is very much based on my own family and my experience with the changes my body went through during pregnancy. I started writing when my daughter was around four months old and sleep deprivation was in full effect! I used to make up little rhymes to soothe her, and when a story started to form around the rhythm, I decided to make a go of my first publishing venture as a gift for my little sleep thief. I'm really passionate about supporting and empowering women, and had an inkling that this body positive approach to storytelling might resonate with the other new mums around me.
