My mum is called Emma,
and she’s such a dear.
I admire her because
she’s a smart engineer.
She keeps on inventing
new things every day,
designing each piece
in peculiar ways.

Beyond all her gadgets,
she really loves trees:
she spends hours gardening,
and saving the bees.
She plants lots of flowers,
so insects can thrive.
At one point she wanted
to have her own hive.

But Dad disagreed,
because if he gets stung
he gets a bad allergy,
and that is not fun!
Instead, we have plants
that attract butterflies,
and cute caterpillars
of all shapes and size!
