A MAGICAL HIMALAYAN FOLKTALE ABOUT ONE CHILD'S POWER TO HELP NATURE BLOOM AGAIN In the village of Chonchganj, young Chunmun dreams of tasting the Buransh flower pakodas her Dadi remembers from long ago. But the Buransh trees have disappeared, and the once-green village has become dry and dusty.
Determined to find the flowers, Chunmun follows a colorful talking bird into the forgotten story of Phoolchand, a gentle Flower Spirit who once lived among the trees, birds, and children of the village.
Who was Phoolchand? Why did he disappear? And can one determined girl help her village bloom again? Inspired by a traditional folktale from Uttarakhand, India,
The Flower Spirit is a gentle picture book celebrating hope, community, environmental stewardship, and the bond between people and nature.
Ideal for home, classroom, and library read-alouds, the book also includes access to a downloadable Teacher Resource Kit with activities connected to folklore, ecosystems, cultural heritage, SEL, and community action.
