Plants and loving yourself in a children's picture book? This book is such a lovely combination of very important topics! To boot, it also has fantastic illustrations that are bright, colourful and engaging. What more can a children's picture book lover ask for?

Seriously, the illustrations ALONE make this book a five star, let alone the incredible moral of this story. Give this illustrator an award for how beautiful it is.

Then add in these wonderful little plants. Blossom is a tall sunflower but she doesn't like that about herself. She's too tall! Bud keeps trying to be as tall as Blossom, but he can't do it and doesn't like that about himself. The other plants make fun of them, which isn't nice at all! They eventually learn to love themselves for who they are, because everyone is different and special for a reason!

Lovely moral about body image. Incredible illustrations. Small blurb in the back about body image and how to talk to kids about it - education!! Definite must read!

Five out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and American Psychological Association for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.… (meer)
