Late springtime in Brooklyn, and a million petals fall from the borough's flowering trees as our storyteller wanders the streets remembering a girl called Harriet who has recently come and gone in his life.'We had flowerdrops last night. Down they came, just like moth wings fluttering in the street light, tumbling to the ground. There wasn't a sound. Everyone in town was hiding. "We want to watch this alone," they said. And so, I'm sure no one slept though it was very late.' (from the text)The Flowerdrops is a poignant and vibrantly illustrated book about loss, grief and recovery, set in nature's season of reawakening. In simple and poetic language, it gently guides the reader on a journey through the beauty of one springtime's end-and toward the knowledge of how life's most difficult feeling will also end.Magnificently illustrated with original paintings by award-winning artist, Aubrey Roemer, The Flowerdrops will be appreciated by children aged 8+ and adults of all ages.
