OverviewAs beautiful and varied as its subject, this introduction to the flowers of the world is filled with enchanting scenes that will appeal to young children. Flowers are featured in far-flung settings that reveal their origins and historical significance. A single chrysanthemum graces a traditional Japanese tea ceremony; hydrangeas overlook a canal in Venice; and rows of deep red tulips border the Dutch countryside. Each spread includes informative texts about how the flowers grow, their historical significance, and what they symbolize in art, literature, and music. Kids will discover flowers they may not know, such as bird-of-paradise, lotus, and passion flowers. They'll also uncover a wealth of fun facts, such as what it means if someone gives you a rose or a carnation; that sunflowers turn their heads to face the sun; and why hopeful lovers pluck daisy petals. Perfect for quiet contemplation or an engaging discussion about the blooms they encounter in daily life, this book will inspire young readers to appreciate the beauty, history, and language of flowers.
