Description

Juhi learns the language of flowers while helping her Appa in his flower shop. Can she draw on this knowledge to express her grief when her favorite customer passes away?

Juhi loves helping her Appa sell flowers to the local community. In Appa's flower shop, Juhi knows the language of love—lilies for affection, irises for hugs and kisses. She knows the language of faith—frangipani for full moon days, red hibiscus for the temple. She knows the language of celebration—daffodils for the newborn, peonies for a birthday cake. But when her Appa tells her that her favorite customer has passed away, she does not know the language of grief. While Appa makes a bouquet of lilies and orchids to bring to Mr. Potter's funeral, Juhi decides to make him one final bouquet of her own. Which flowers will she choose to remember a man who was always so full of life?

Advance Praise

"Smith's spare but graceful prose is brought to life by Asis' vibrant artwork. Flowers and people alike pop against white backdrops; visible brushstrokes imbue the tale with intimacy. Juhi's ability to communicate complex emotions in nonverbal ways is a joy to behold. It's especially refreshing to read a story about a South Asian girl whose ethnic identity informs but doesn't determine her story. Mr. Potter presents white; Juhi's community is diverse. A touching tale of love, community, and expression."- Kirkus Reviews (7/1/24)
