Flowers Bloom

By Mélina Mangal

Inspire children to explore the wonderful fragrance and unique characteristics of the flowers that bloom all around them

In Flowers Bloom, two young children, guided by an adult, set off on a spring walk through their colorful city neighborhood. The air is soft and sweet with the scent of blooming flowers. Guided by their curiosity, cousins Kamali and Josiah notice how every flower is different--some planted neatly in window boxes, others sprouting wild and free. As they stroll, they notice flowers spreading comfort and joy at every step. They learn that, like flowers, people bloom in many ways. No matter where we come from, we brighten the world in our own unique way.
