A modern day fairytale, inspiring a love towards nature, told in short and engaging chapters.

Flower Girl is a story about a girl called Cherry who is made by magic from the flowers of an enchanted blossom tree. With hair as pink as petals and a pet butterfly called Bud, she is a little bit different to everyone else! At school, she tries hard to fit in, but that's when things start to go wrong. She has to learn to be kind, honest and strong, or she will vanish back into the blossom petals again. When she is put to the ultimate test, can Cherry find the courage to be herself, be a true friend and save losing everything she loves, forever? -- Publisher: Atebol
Who is the thoughtful girl with green eyes who stares from the cover of Lucy Owen's second book for those aged 7 to 11, and what is her story? Rebecca Harry's mesmerising illustrations capture the imagination and draw the reader into the mystery of Cherry and her struggle to stay with her mum. Keen gardener Flora despairs of having a child of her own to nurture and love until a child is created of blossom before her very eyes and comes to live with her. All is joy and delight until the pink-haired outsider goes to school and faces the common problems of children trying to fit in. Flower Girl is sweet, sensitive and magical but there is a tough core to chew over as Cherry faces playground bullying, makes friends and learns to control her special powers, to trust, to be kind, honest and strong. This satisfying read is rich with surprising extras - from Japanese elements to recipes provided by an actual baker set against a realistic background.There is plenty to think about and much to enjoy in Flower Girl. -- Lorna Herbert Egan @ www.gwales.com
