Inspire children to explore the wonderful fragrance and unique characteristics of the flowers that bloom all around them

In Flowers Bloom, two young children, guided by an adult, set off on a spring walk through their colorful city neighborhood. The air is soft and sweet with the scent of blooming flowers. Guided by their curiosity, cousins Kamali and Josiah notice how every flower is different--some planted neatly in window boxes, others sprouting wild and free. As they stroll, they notice flowers spreading comfort and joy at every step. They learn that, like flowers, people bloom in many ways. No matter where we come from, we brighten the world in our own unique way.

Flowers Bloom:

• Celebrates Diversity: More than just a flower book, themes of uniqueness, growth, and belonging blossom throughout the story, celebrating diverse communities and the many ways people flourish.
• Sprouts Connections to Nature: Simple text and vivid illustrations are used throughout the toddler book to encourage children in an easy-to-understand way that they can explore the beauty of the natural world, no matter where they live!
• Includes Helpful Tips for Parents & Caregivers: This children's book features additional guidance and engaging toddler activities to help children learn more about nature and their own senses.

This book is part of the Outside Our Window Board Books series, which encourages children--especially those in urban environments--to explore, protect, and delight in nature. Each book in the series focuses on one feature of the natural world (like flowers), one sense (smell), and one communication or relationship skill (blooming where you land). The books emphasize community and encourage children and families to explore the natural world around them.
