Julia Ward Howe, in 1872, was the first person to consider having a day to celebrate mothers but it was not until 1910, thanks to the efforts of Anna Jarvis, that this day became a national holiday. Sonora’s mother died when she was a baby and as she grew up with her siblings and her father, she recognized that fathers deserve special recognition as well as mothers for the job that they do in the family. Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Grandparents’ Day, and Family Day are each discussed in this title, giving background on the people who were responsible for each becoming a national holiday.
