“[An] extravagantly beautiful creation. It is unusual in its ingenious way of teaching botany and interesting words to the littlest of readers.”
—Publishers Weekly

“Ms. Heller’s colors and drawings are as electrifying as ever.”
—Los Angeles Times


The reason for a flower is to manufacture seeds, but Ruth Heller shares a lot more about parts of plants and their functions in her trademark rhythmic style.
