A Flower Is a Friend

By Frieda Wishinsky

Book Overview

In the garden ecosystem, a flower means many things to each bird, insect, and creature.

What does a flower do? They may not seem active to human eyes, but for the creatures of the garden they dust a bumblebee, shade a frog, feed a hummingbird, and serve as the center of a buzzing, humming, thrumming community.

In A Flower is a Friend, award-winning author Frieda Wishinsky's spare text whispers softly to readers about the many ways a flower cares for those around it, while award-winning illustrator Karen Patkau's striking art provides a close-up view of each mouse, frog, and butterfly within a blossom's embrace. Rich back matter unfurls further information about the partnerships within the garden ecosystem, including the ways these garden creatures are friends to flowers in return.
