Four young kittens try to think up something special to give to Mama on her special day. They realize that Mama loves flowers. They couldn't find any flowers, so they decided to be creative and make flowers. Oleander planted a seed in dirt and a can. Tulip drew flowers with orange chalk. Others found bits and scraps to make yellow sunflowers and pink tulips. Blossom made up a song. Will Mama like their gift?
Flowers for Mama encourages creativity, and is a heartwarming story of patience and love.
Freedman's illustrations are very charming.
