New Zealand author; New Zealand illustrator Translation of: My mum is queen of the road
Summary: While Ari and Isabella play with trucks and diggers, making roads in a sandpit, Ari tells Isabella that his mother is a roadworker who works the Stop/Go sign and is called Queen of the Road. Isabella tries to work out why she is a queen. Does she wear diamonds? Does she sit on a throne? Does she have a corgi? Each time, Ari answers no, and Isabella is puzzled until Ari reveals that when his mum turns her sign to Go, everyone cheers and waves at her - just like a queen. (Publisher)
