Description
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.

Thank you Netgalley and Pajama Press for access to this arc.
What a lovely and educational book. The illustrations are gorgeous while showing how animals help protect and cultivate flowers and in return are nurtured by the flowers. Each picture has a simple question about the relationship shown. The answers are given at the end thus allowing time for readers to think and guess the symbiotic importance. This is a great way for everyone to learn and also fun for readers to spot the animals. B
