Mother's Day is a special day. It honors the love of mothers for their children. People celebrate it in the United States, Australia, and Brazil. It happens on the second Sunday of May.

The holiday started in the United States. A woman named Ann Jarvis inspired it. She made "Mother's Day Work Clubs" to improve health and cleanliness in her community. These clubs became a model for the holiday.

Her daughter, Anna Jarvis, continued the work. She asked for Mother's Day to become a national holiday.

Today, people give cards, flowers, and gifts to their mothers. They also call them and go out to eat. The most popular flower is the carnation. It is a symbol of a mother's love.
