What is Big Mama makes the world about?

Big Mama sets out to make a world, carrying her baby as she brings everything into being. First come the earth, sky and sea, followed by the sun, moon, plants, trees, birds and animals. With energy, humour and a loving touch, she fills the world with colour, movement and life. When her work is finished, Big Mama gathers everyone close, settles down to rest and celebrates the wonderful world she has made.
