Ebury Press will publish singerEmma Bunton's first book, Mama You Got This, on 10th June 2021.

Laura Higginson, editorial director, bought world all language rights from Severine Berman at The Mutha Ship.

Bunton is a mum of two and like most new parents, she juggled being a working mum, partner, friend, and trying to find time for herself, says the publisher. Although she had supportive friends and family, she found the endless rules and strict routines of most baby books overwhelming.

Mama You Got This is the book Bunton wishes she had readwhen she was a new mum.She will share the highs and lows she experienced,from post-birth recovery and no sleep to playtime and first smiles and share what she has learnt and some funny stories along the way. The author will also discuss her baby-care range Kit & Kin which she launched in 2017 after her child Tate suffered with chronic eczema.

The information in the book will be backed by experts including Yales paediatric sleep consultant Dr Craig Canapari, NCT breastfeeding expert Fran Bailey, mindfulness coach Heidi Fultonand midwife Marley Hall who will offer tips aboutsleeping, breastfeeding, weaning, crying, feeding, playing and self-care.

Higginson said: "Emma is known for being Baby Spice, full of girl power. I loved hearing about the very personal other side of her life and all those secret stories from being a mum whilst being one of the most famous pop stars on the planet. Her motivation for launching Kit and Kinto make a positive difference to baby-care and the planet is really inspiring and Emmas passion to write an equally positive, accessible modern guide is really exciting its a modern mum bible rich with relatable stories that will leave readers laughing, crying and feeling like whatever they are dealing with, they are not alone and there is help."

Bunton commented: "For my first ever book, writing about the most important part my life was easy. Opening up and sharing my stories feels totally natural with all you mums who are going through the same experiences but all in our own unique way. Becoming a mummy can be so daunting but we are in this together and we can support each other, dont you worry, mama,youve got this!"
