You Are My Flower was recorded in one afternoon when Elizabeth Mitchell and Daniel Littleton were in the middle of a tour with their band Ida and they had a day off while in Michigan. They were at the home studio of legendary producer Warren Defever and recorded these songs that Elizabeth had sung with her students years earlier as a teacher at the Roosevelt Island Day Nursery school in NYC. Intended as a holiday gift for the children in their lives and not given a formal release, word of mouth about the album spread quickly and it was named Children's Record of the Year in 1998 by the Boston Phoenix.
