Avery and Altona are on a top-secret Mother's Day mission. Mom keeps finding the wreckage. But Mom keeps cleaning it up with strength nobody talks about. A rhyming picture-book celebration of moms, siblings, and the mess that means love.
Flour everywhere. Ribbons on lamps. Tape on Altona. And Mom -- lifting tables one-handed, snapping unbreakable tape with a pop, pretending none of that is unusual at all. When Dad finally arrives home in his Army uniform with a "SURPRISE " and the kids hold up a leaning, lopsided cake, the mission is complete: Happy Mother's Day.
A rhyming picture book about family, sibling chaos, and a mom who is much more than she lets on. For ages 3-5. From Carrow Brown with art by Manuel Preitano.
