The journey of adoption is beautifully depicted with the comforting imagery of a poppy flower who is welcomed into a garden family. It is a charming story of "seeds" being planted in the perfect place - exactly where they belong. Children and adults will enjoy this simple yet meaningful story and homespun illustrations. The book's loving approach helps children to understand adoption.
I was contacted by Tribute Books inquiring if I would like to host a stop on the blog tour for this book. Being a supporter of adoption, I agreed.
The book is absolutely precious. I love the rhymes and the use of the flowers metaphor to represent the author's daughter. It is a lovely children's story.
The artwork was refreshing and wonderful as well. Instead of being actual drawn illustrations, they looked more like what you would see in a scrapbook; which ignites that feeling of warm memories and things that should be remembered and cherished.
