In this beautiful book, mindful haiku poems to help us rediscover our natural surroundings, without traveling too far from home.

From Ring-a-Ring-o-Roses to Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary, young children are often first introduced to flowers through nursery rhymes and childhood games. In this beautiful collection of haiku poems, explore 24 flower species growing close to home, from wildflower meadows to urban window boxes. The poems include well-known flora like daisies and daffodils and perhaps some lesser-known plants like azalea and foxglove.

The vibrant collage-style illustrations are filled with beautiful bright blooms. From a superhero-loving girl with a hearing aid to an Asian wedding ceremony surrounded my marigolds, the poetry book features a diverse mix of children and families enjoying the wonderful plants.
