The Willow Rose

By: Pyland, Cole

What do you get when a tiny insect pokes a tree and something beautiful grows in its place?

Inspired by a real botanical mystery and the unconditional love between parent and child, The Willow Rose is a rhyming, science-meets-storytime journey into the strange, wonderful world of galls-bumpy growths on trees caused by tiny creatures. When one such gall forms on a willow tree, it takes on a rose-like shape... and a deeper meaning.

With whimsical, watercolor-style illustrations and playful Seussian verse, this story teaches young readers how something damaged can still become something special. The Willow Rose may have been formed by harm, but it blossoms into a symbol of resilience, transformation, and love.

Perfect for children ages 3-8, nature lovers, adoptive families, or anyone who's ever felt different-this book reminds us that what makes us unique might just be what makes us magical.
