A joyous picture book for mothers and daughters of all ages. Mother's Day takes place on the one day of the year when it's possible for a young girl to really see how extraordinary her mother is. Written by novelist Alice Hoffman, and illustrated by folk artist Maggie Stern in glorious fabric images, this prose poem takes place in a single enchanted outing when a magical carnival comes to town and a mysterious, yet familiar-looking, tightrope walker appears in the backyard.
