![Against a pink background with scattered flowers and hearts, the title reads: “Just in time for Mother’s Day.” On the left is a large image of the cover of Deborah Freedman’s picture book, FLOWERS FOR MAMA. To the left of the book are 2 reviews, each with the reviewer’s icon. The top starred review from Kirkus says: “an enchanting story that honors both the artistic journey and the blooms that—eventually-result.” The bottom review from Publishers Weekly says: “multidimensional art expansively showcases myriad ways to say ‘I love you.’” Below the reviews is a quote from Deborah that reads: "I decided to make a book that celebrates the varied ways and naturally exuberant way [kids] already express themselves, a book full of art that they could imagine making immediately. ~Deborah Freedman." At the bottom left is “Exclusive Interview” with an arrow pointing to: https://www.sarahsteinbacher.com/blog/interview-deborah-freedman](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:k2mhubwq7pytepi5jhanjkto/bafkreif7iofcimdzbzaoxx5zhuikctrcbd2zck3ifutatyjc3zmaiha56m)
