BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

Picture a beautiful garden full of colorful flowers. Imagine girls of color between the ages of 4-8yo in fun colorful clothes enjoying this delightful garden. Forman likens these girls to flowers and how each blooms in their own way.

Skyles does an enchanting job illustrating this book for young readers. I can picture a toddler looking at this book over and over again. The text is simple and repetitive helping with early reading concepts. The diversity of the flowers and the girls on each page makes this book that much more wonderful. The way she has drawn their eyes is my favorite part. They are so expressive.
