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 stunghe gets a bad allergy,
and that is not fun!Instead,
we have plantsthat attract butterflies,
and cute caterpillarsof all shapes and size!
Emma is named after Emmeline Pankhurst (1858–1928), who was a British political activist and founder of the British suffragette movement who helped women win the right to vote.
Angel oaks and weeping willows.
Japanese cherry blossoms, purple rhododendrons and dark pink peonies.
You must make women count as much as men; you must have an equal standard of morals.
