About this product
Product Information
One day Raymond sees a young woman smile with pleasure when she is given a gift of flowers. Maybe I could buy Mom some flowers, Raymond thinks, to help her feel better now that she is home from the hospital. When Raymond realizes he doesn't have enough money to buy flowers, he decides to grow them from seeds, but his mother has to return to the hospital before the flowers bloom. As the flowers grow and then begin to wilt, Raymond fears his mother will never see his present after all. The gift she receives instead is a total surprise, and more perfect than anything Raymond has planned. Winner of LEE & LOW'S New Voices Honor Award, Raymond's Perfect Present captures the innocence of a child's love for his mother as he struggles through a difficult time. This heart-warming story reaches out to all readers who have sought to give those they love the "perfect present."

Reviews
"A gentle story of a single mom and a loving son... Wang's illustrations are -- rendered in pencil, scanned into a computer, and then further designed with Adobe Photoshop... The contrast of hospital starkness and floral vibrancy nicely supports the text. The story is too long for story time but would be comforting as a read-aloud with a child who has a hospitalized relative. Raymond's successful gift and his mother's recovery will both reassure and please youngsters. This admirable first book is a lovely tale of triumph over the adversity of illness and limited resources." -- School Library Journal "An Honor book in the publisher's New Voice Award Competition, this is a sweet... sentimental look at a boy trying to cope with his mother's serious illness... Raymond and his mother are fortunate to have close elderly neighbors in their city apartment who look after the boy while his mother has an extended hospital stay. The couple is sympathetic to Raymond's wish to give his mother a special surprise gift when she returns home. When he decides to plant flower seeds, they provide the pots, and they take him for regular visits to see his mother. Although the flowers have bloomed and scattered before his mother can see them, Mom is delighted to see the birds that come to strip their seeds. In an upbeat, but not unrealistic ending, Raymond and his mother enjoy a walk in the park. Wang's stylized illustrations, rendered in pencil and scanned into a computer, picture an Asian boy and his mother. Their coloration reflects the boy's mood, full color when he's planning his surprise, muted blues and white when he is worried. A story with bibliotherapeutic possibilities." -- Kirkus Reviews "The brightly polished, straightforward pictures carry the story along to a conclusion celebrating love, creativity, and the benefits -- at any age -- of leaving your expectations open." -- Washingtonian Magazine New Voices Award Honor, Lee & Low Books Choices, Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC), "This admirable first book is a lovely tale of triumph over the adversity of illness and limited resources." -- School Library Journal "An Honor book in the publisher's New Voice Award Competition, this is a sweet. . . sentimental look at a boy trying to cope with his mother's serious illness. . .
