Description

Theo shares a passion for stationery and flowers with his mom, who often says that even a simple daisy can ease a heartache or mend an awkward word. When Theo makes a mistake while writing in ink, he turns it into a flower. His mom, dedicated and compassionate, splits her time between nurturing her son and teaching art to the elderly. Inspired by her kindness and eager to show his gratitude, Theo seizes the perfect opportunity when he spots a newspaper call for Volunteer of the Year nominations.

This beautifully illustrated story celebrates gratitude and creativity while highlighting a touching parent-child bond.
