I love this wordless picture book! Aimed at children 3-6 years old it is a great story for every age. Before the story begins there is a quote from the author, "My grandpa always said, Everyone's gotta story...you jus' gotta find out what it is." It's a great quote and a wonderful way to start this story, as it encourages the curiousity from the reader.
This is such a beautifully illustrated book that you will want to find a child and go through it with them. Creating your story from what you observe in a wordless picture book is a wonderful way to create the magic of books with any youngster. The basic sotryline is, a flower man moves into a dreary new town and brings life and colour to the town by sharing his love of flowers. Its a terrific book for curious toddlers that love to tell us all stories as well as older children as it sparks such a wonderful way of sharing stoies. Noticing all the different stories happening on each page though the windows and actions of the characters is a great way to discuss humanity and our passions. Everyone on the planet should read this book in my opinion.
