Watch Me Bloom

Some flowers are the subject of nursery rhymes and childhood games while others help us celebrate love, remember our homelands or mark the passing seasons. These mindful haiku poems invite us to explore twenty-four flower species growing close to home, from wildflower meadows to urban window boxes.

The nature-themed follow up to My Mindful A to Zen, this gorgeous collection of poems teaches us that treating ourselves and our planet mindfully can also be a treat for the senses.

“Along with being racially and culturally diverse, the smiling, wide-eyed cast includes a youngster using a prosthetic limb, an adult couple of ambiguous gender in a Christmas scene, and what appears to be a same-sex couple in a Hindu-style wedding. “Floral Fun Facts” about some of the selected flowers at the end add light doses of lore and natural science.  A bright bouquet of poems, petals, and values.”

"The vibrant collage-style illustrations are filled with beautiful bright blooms. From a superhero-loving girl with a hearing aid to a same-sex Asian wedding ceremony surrounded my marigolds, the poetry book features a diverse mix of children and families enjoying the wonderful plants.”
