The Language of Flowers Reviews

"Smiths 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. Juhis ability to communicate complex emotions in nonverbal ways is a joy to behold. A touching tale of love, community, and expression." Kirkus Reviews
