Kilian B.: 'She never gets mad if I get my clothes dirty'

My mother is special because she cooks supper for me every night. She taught me how to tie my shoes and how to double-knot them.

My mom helps me when I’m hurt or sick. She lets me help her cook. She calls me Little Boy Blue.

I like to go on a bike ride when she goes on a walk. Sometimes I walk if my bike isn’t out.

She never gets mad if I get my clothes dirty. She helps me clean my room when it is really dirty.

That is why my mom is special.
