Sometimes Sammy's words disappear. Luckily, there's Monsti: wild, brave, and wonderfully real, even if only Mama can see it.
Everyone else overlooks Monsti. And they overlook Mama too. Again and again, people mistake her for someone else because she doesn't look the way they expect a mother to look. With Monsti by Sammy's side, however, Sammy discovers the courage to find the voice that has been there all along.
Written by Esther Donkor and beautifully illustrated by Irem Kurt, Einfach Mama is a heartfelt picture book about visibility, identity, belonging, and the many ways families can look. Filled with warmth, imagination, and gentle humor, it encourages children and adults alike to celebrate every family exactly as it is while opening the door to meaningful conversations about diversity, empathy, and standing up for the people we love.

Irem Kurt lives in Berlin and creates illustrations for a wide variety of media and contexts. Most of all, she loves creating artwork for children’s books that bring joy to people of all ages. When she is not at her drawing desk, she leads workshops for children and adults, where she continually finds fresh inspiration. In her free time, she is often with her cat Ayah, who curiously explores the backyard, hunts toy mice, and eagerly waits for the friendly elderly neighbor next door, who occasionally gives her a little snack.
