A garden of gifts for Mama

For Mother’s Day, a group of kittens prepares flowers in different forms: drawing, stamping, stitching and singing. Oleander takes a different route, planting a seed and waiting for it to bloom. That contrast gives the story its central shape: some gifts are made at once, while others depend on patience. The book brings together creative expression, caring for something as it grows, and the many ways affection can be shown. Its garden becomes a shared celebration built from the kittens’ varied contributions.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in Mother’s Day stories.
  • Young readers who enjoy stories about making gifts and creative activities.
  • Families looking for a picture book about patience and expressing love.

Book overview

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.
