Beautiful Flowers for Kids Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1 Cherry Blossoms Dahlias Bleeding heart Chapter 2 Canna Roses Tulips Chapter 3 White Lotus Lily of the Valley Oriental poppy Plumerias Conclusion Author Bio Introduction Flowers are a beautiful part of nature’s great diversity, and have delighted the human race for thousands of years. And because of their adaptable nature, flowers have been used in many ways. Did you know some flowers used to be so valuable they cost more than gold? Yes, they did! Today, there are many varieties of flowers around the world. They fill our lives with color, and joy and help us find a silver lining behind every dark cloud. You may know some of them very well. But others may be unfamiliar to you. In this book, we will examine ten beautiful kinds of flowers to discover what makes each one unique. Are you ready to get started? Then review the list before we begin: 1-Cherry Blossoms 2-Dahlias 3-Bleeding Heart 4-Canna 5-Roses 6-Tulips 7-White Lotus 8-Lilly of the Valley 9-Oriental poppy 10-Frangipani (Plumeria) Each variety of flowers in this list brings beauty and happiness to our lives. They also help us to live in a better way. How so? Well, for thousands of years flowers have been used for medicinal purposes, so in a literal way they have helped many people. Some flowers also have historical value; others are considered sacred and many are used in religious ceremonies. What about when someone is sick or not feeling well? Don’t we give them flowers to cheer them up? Or perhaps you use flowers for other special occasions in your life. There is also something else flowers are well known for. Have you guessed it? That’s right! Their sweet scent. Many flowers have a strong smell, others have a softer smell and some have no smell at all! That’s one side of the coin, but on the other…did you know some flowers smell like rotten meat? Does that sound awful? But even this scent fulfills a purpose and helps nature to thrive. Ultimately, flowers are a delightful part of nature’s wonders. So whether sweet or ‘rotten,’ take a moment and dive into the amazing world of colorful plants!

Book Description

How do you make a garden grow? In this playful companion to the popular Tap the Magic Tree and Touch the Brightest Star, you will see how tiny seeds bloom into beautiful flowers. And by tapping, clapping, waving, and more, young readers can join in the action! Christie Matheson masterfully combines the wonder of the natural world with the interactivity of reading. Beautiful collage-and-watercolor art follows the seed through its entire life cycle, as it grows into a zinnia in a garden full of buzzing bees, curious hummingbirds, and colorful butterflies. Children engage with the book as they wiggle their fingers to water the seeds, clap to make the sun shine after rain, and shoo away a hungry snail. Appropriate for even the youngest child, Plant the Tiny Seed is never the same book twice—no matter how many times you read it! And for curious young nature lovers, a page of facts about seeds, flowers, and the insects and animals featured in the book is included at the end. Fans of Press Here, Eric Carle, and Lois Ehlert will find their next favorite book in Plant the Tiny Seed.

Book Description

Magdalene Snow is a bitter, middle-aged women. When riled, she is thought to likely shoot her rifle at animals and people alike. She leads a solitary life and wants nothing more than to be left alone in her self-imposed exile. She speaks to no one and scorns any overtures from local residents who come too near her small cabin. She came to Birch Mountain to escape an abusive husband and her only desire is for security and solitude. However, what she finds is something quite different. A small child named, Blue, determines to enter into Maggie’s world with, or without, an invitation. She is persistent and fearless in her maneuvers to get acquainted with any newcomers. In the beginning Maggie determinedly resists the overtures of the troublesome little girl, but over time she is won over and discovers a joyous life which she never knew existed. She gradually finds great peace and acceptance in dwelling on that same mountain for the remainder of her days. In fact, her great desire to be alone when she first arrives on Birch Mountain, comes to pass only after she has grown old. Due to progress, the people of her world have either moved away, or passed away. In the late 1940’s the community in the foothills called Fancy Knoll, ceases to be, and Maggie alone remains. As a tribute to Blue, she sets her mind to write the stories of the local people who have lived in the area, either as she shared them herself, or as they were told to her. These are the stories of one community and are written to preserve the lives and culture for a future generation. Maggie’s tales are the stories of the people of Fancy Knoll.
