well.... not really but you can make it look like. selectors always go the direction from parent to child. but you can try something using position: absolute of a background-simulating element inside the child element

edit note: this highly depends on the rest of your css! no element between the parent that should have the background and the hovering child (including itself) must have position, no matter if relative or absolute. otherwise the background will only cover that element.
