About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is eager to express their love through grand gestures but might need help managing the high expectations and tiny mishaps that come with planning a big event. It is a wonderful choice for fostering a spirit of gratitude and showing children that the heart behind a gift matters more than perfection. In this charming story, Nancy works hard to coordinate a fancy Mother's Day brunch. While her signature flair and expansive vocabulary are front and center, the core of the book explores the joy of doing something selfless for a parent. It is perfectly suited for children ages 4 to 8 who enjoy creative projects, festive traditions, and learning that even when things do not go exactly as planned, the effort is what makes the day marvelous. Parents will appreciate how it models intentionality and family bonding in a lighthearted, relatable way.

Ideal Reader
