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.
