Unwrapping Some Illustrations
The Book
What an insightful and educational book when it comes to the value of the flowers that grow around us. What exactly do they do?
Even though to the human eye they just are stationary where they are planted, to the bumblebee, frog, hummingbird, butterfly, ladybug, and many more creatures they are very meaningful, necessary and very important.
The book highlights the many ways that flowers care for those around them and the illustrations are lovely. They capture close up and colourful images of both the flower and the creatures that they serve.
The author has provided more in-depth information about the symbiotic relationships within the garden ecosystem, including the ways these garden creatures are friends to flowers in return. I love the book and highly recommend it.
