About this ebook
CONTAINS A BRAND NEW CHAPTER
Sunday Times Number One Bestseller Happy Mum Happy Baby is now a Number One podcast.
A positive and uplifting book about what it is to be a mother and all things mum and baby by Celebrity Mum of the Year and phenomenally popular vlogger, author, TV presenter and actress Giovanna Fletcher.
Being a mum is an incredible journey, a remarkable experience that changes how we look, how we feel, who we are. As mothers we are strong, protective, proud. We feel a love like no other.
But being a parent can be hard too. It challenges us physically, mentally, emotionally. There are the days where just managing to fit a shower in amidst the endless feeding, entertaining young children and surviving on a lack of sleep feels like an achievement. With so many people ready to offer 'advice' on the best way to parent, it can feel like you are getting it all wrong.
Since Giovanna and her husband Tom Fletcher have had their sons Buzz and Buddy, they have been sharing glimpses of their family life. With an infectiously positive outlook and happy take on all things mum-related, Giovanna has developed a following of fellow parents and mums-to-be.
This is not a book about how to have the perfect family experience - Gi would be the first to admit she is winging it just as much as the rest of us - instead it is an honest, upbeat and incredibly personal account of her own experience of having a family. In Happy Mum, Happy Baby Giovanna shares her own journey through parenthood and in doing so, she looks at what it is to be a mother today, encourages you to be confident in yourself as a parent and celebrates how putting a focus on being a happy and confident mum can really make for a happy baby.

I am not a mum but the first few chapters have flown by in a breeze. Giovanna is very relatable in sharing her experience enduring PCOS, as I have it too. I have known of her and her family due to being a fan of McFly as a teenager (whew, I feel old now!) but never knew she also dealt with the condition. It's already nearly brought tears to my eyes because her accouts have given me hope for the future when I too will get ready to make the transition into motherhood. Her writing style is quirky and down to earth and I'm now suddenly sad to have missed her book signing tour by a day! Great book, even if you're not yet a mum but are needing something to quell anxieties over becoming one, or even if you're still pondering if motherhood is something you want to experience. I will definitely be finishing this book quickly!

What a wonderful way to share parenting experiences. I loved reading this
book. I am a proud mum of two, age 3 and 6. It really reminded me of the
fun we had raising then and all the stages we went through. Lovely!!

A warm, funny, honest account of life as a mum of two. Loved every page (so much so that I finished it in a couple of sittings!) and will be recommending to all my mummy friends. Thank you Giovanna!
About the author
Giovanna grew up in Essex with her Italian dad Mario, mum Kim, big sister Giorgina and little brother Mario, and with family playing such a big part of her life it was only natural that she had always dreamed of having children of her own.
Giovanna and her husband Tom Fletcher have two young sons Buzz and Buddy and share glimpses of their family life through their YouTube channels (giovannasworld) and on their social media (twitter: @mrsgifletcher, facebook: MrsGiFletcher and Instagram: mrsgifletcher).
A bestselling novelist, actress, TV presenter, vlogger and blogger, Giovanna is most importantly a mum and her pledge to spread positivity wherever she goes has earned her a vast following.
