Mom is wearing a floral nightgown, which is full of flowers and hearts. I wear a blue and white striped T-shirt inside, which echoes the blue and white striped shirt my father wears. The background of the cover has the same blue-yellow tone as "My Dad".

The pattern of the lining is the same as the pattern on the mother's clothes. Then there is a radiant love drawn by "I". The design of the glowing heart is also to echo the sun's rays in "My Dad". The book highlights the center from the very beginning.

My mother is a very skilled chef who can make all kinds of cakes. Every kind of cake on the table has an invisible image:Neon-like cakes, monkey cakes, heart cakes, star cakes, and lemon moon cakes (the half slice of lemon on top of the lemon cake looks like a moon), like a small party scene at night. There is also a lovely strawberry on top of Mom's chef's hat.

I don’t see what the cake on the far right is. And this star cake, with a green base and white stars, looks very familiar, like a symbol, I don't know if there is any hidden meaning.

The acrobatic props on the right may seem strange, but actually represent food, drink, housing, transportation, play and clothing, covering all aspects of life, and also showing that Mom is good at and everywhere in every area of ​​life.

Mom is a magical gardener. She planted a lot of potted plants and grew all kinds of magic: fish, buttons, fruits, and cups. The patterns of the cups are stripes and hearts. , this echoes the mother. Mother's fingers are "green fingers", green fingers are people who are good at planting in English, planting expertsmeaning, implying that mother has a pair of clever hands.

A shelf-like background is used here, because it is really difficult to draw a garden here. In this form, more green plants can also be displayed. The plants growing on the shelf at the back, placed behind the mother, also look like flowers growing on the mother's body. The mother can even grow flowers on her own body, which proves the magical power of the mother.

It's scary when mom gets angry, like a lion. Although it is roaring, the lion's mouth is also a heart shape, and the eyes are cute squinting. Although the mother is roaring, she is also very cute. A frame is used on the outside of the lion. The color of this frame is the same as the color of the socks in Dad’s previous one. As an added bonus, the cartoon "The Lion King" is American, though that probably doesn't matter.

Singing with one mouth wide open, yelling at people with one mouth wide open, voices echoing on both sides.

Mother is in the kitchen, going to the supermarket, planting gardens, coaxing children, etc. Even though she is busy inside and out, mother still maintains beauty and tenderness. And in addition to the dedication of the family, my mother is omnipotent in the workplace, and in the end, my mother has become a superwoman.

Superman Mom

A debate topic was discussed in "The Story of Strange Flowers": the Shouldn't you praise your mother as a superman? The debate discusses this point of view from different angles, many of which can resonate with people. Is mother a superman a compliment or a compliment? Why did mom turn into Superman? Does Mom really want to be Superman? Isn't Superman tired? Doesn't Superman want to rest? Every sentence pokes your heart. Sometimes I feel that women's dedication can reach such a level. Maternal love is really great and cannot be quantified.
