Moments in Motherhood

A collection of illustrated poetry by Elizabeth Murphy

When my daughter was 3 months old, I started writing little poems and drawing her every day. By the time she reached her first birthday, I had over100 sketches to gift her of all our ordinary, beautiful moments together.

In an attempt to keep hold of all these memories, I made them into books to give her one day. After sharing some of my work on instagram, I realised my words and pictures resonated with a lot of like-minded parents, so I went on a journey of self-publishing. My books have now reached 17 countries, which I hope will make my daughter proud one day.

As well as these books, I created an illustrated alphabet for my daughter to enjoy. It explores the alphabet, using snapshots from the world of a child.
