My Mom Is a Foreigner, But Not to Me
By Julianne Moore • Illustrated by Meilo So
Bestselling author and award-winning actress Julianne Moore pays homage
to all the Muttis, Mammas, and Mamans who are from another country.
A foreign mom may eat, speak, and dress differently than other moms—
she may wear special clothes for holidays, twist hair in strange old-fashioned
braids, and cook recipes passed down from grandma. Such a mom may
be different than other moms, but...she is also clearly the best. Vividly
illustrated by Meilo So, this funny and heartwarming picture book about
growing up in multiple cultures celebrates the diverse world in which we live.
Julianne Moore was inspired
to write My Mom Is a Foreigner
in memory of her own foreign
mom. Moore is the bestselling
author of the Freckleface Strawberry
series. She is also an
award-winning actress and artist
ambassador for Save the Children.
She lives in New York City with
her husband and two children.
Meilo So is the esteemed illustrator
of Water Sings Blue. She was
born in Hong Kong and now lives
in the Shetland Islands with her
husband and daughter. Meilo So
is herself a foreign mom.
