(4) PS Illustrated by Lizzy Rockwell. The kids in Mrs. Madoff's class take turns describing how they will celebrate Mother's Day: Eveline will make beignets for her maman; Sarah, whose mother is dead, will celebrate with her grandmother; etc. The children all sound the same, but the up-with-difference message, reinforced by the cheerful and tidy candy-colored illustrations, is welcome in a book about a day known to inspire cookie-cutter sentiments.
