Deborah Freedman is back with a heartwarming picture book on patience and love, perfect for Mother’s Day!

For Mama’s special day, the kittens decide to gift her all sorts of flowers. Some are drawn and stamped. Others stitched and sung. Oleander, though, plants a seed in hopes of gifting her a real flower. But as Mama’s special day approaches, Oleander's flower still hasn’t blossomed. Will he have a gift in time?

Flowers for Mama shows us many ways art can be made and how, with a little patience and a lot of love, very different flowers can all come together to form a whole garden, just for Mama.
Praise for Flowers for Mama:

★ “Ideal for the storytime crowd. . . An enchanting story that honors both the artistic journey and the blooms that—eventually—result.”—Kirkus, starred review
Deborah Freedman (deborahfreedman.net) is a trained architect who now works as an author/illustrator. She is the author of This House, Once, Shy, By Mouse and Frog, The Story of Fish and Snail, Blue Chicken, and Scribble. View titles by Deborah Freedman
