Mother's Day (United States)

Imagine a special day just for moms! In the United States, we celebrate Mother's Day every year on the second Sunday in May. It's a day to give hugs, say 'thank you,' and show moms how much we love them. Think of it like a super-duper special birthday, but for all moms everywhere!

A kind lady named Anna Jarvis had a wonderful idea. She wanted to honor her own mom and all mothers for everything they do. So, she worked really hard to make a special day for them. The very first Mother's Day was celebrated a long, long time ago, in 1908, with a special church service.

On Mother's Day, people do lots of fun things! Many kids give their moms cards they made themselves, which are the best kind! Some people buy flowers, like bright red carnations, to give to their moms. Families also love to have special dinners together, sharing yummy food and happy stories.

Mother's Day is super important because it reminds us to appreciate moms and how they help us grow. It's like how we have days for other family members too, like Father's Day for dads and Grandparents Day for grandmas and grandpas! It's all about celebrating the people we love.
