Blossom and Bud
Blossom and Bud live in Mr. Baxter’s flower shop, among plants of every imaginable size, color, and shape.
Blossom doesn’t like how tall she is and tries to hide her height. Bud doesn’t like how he looks, so he tries to force his flower to bloom. But Mr. Baxter thinks they are just right, as they are, and has a special role for each of them. This story will help kids love themselves all around, no matter their shape or size. Included is a Note to Parents and Caregivers about nurturing a positive body image in children.
This new story is from the author of the popular books that feature Bentley the bee, Bee Still: An Invitation to Meditation, Bee Heartful: Spread Loving-Kindness, and Bee Calm: The Buzz on Yoga; as well as Snitchy Witch, Did You Hear? A Story About Gossip, A World of Pausabilities: An Exercise in Mindfulness, Don’t Put Yourself Down in Circus Town: A Story about Self-Confidence, and Sally Sore Loser: A Story About Winning and Losing.
