Otra imagen inquietante es al extremo de la ciudad donde sólo hay colinas de polvo que se acumulan; en el cielo se ve una esfera de luz que tomamos por la Luna pero también puede ser tomada por el Sol oculto tras una capa densa de polución. The art reinforces the story, by showing the city as a dull grey place. Brigg is shown walking the other way to everyone else, or sitting apart from other children, highlighting how out-of-place he feels. His room is very plain, with few personal items. Once the flower appears, it's a point of colour and life in an otherwise dull environment. In this book, Pryke explores the process of how to move from the source of inspiration to the glorious finished flower arrangement. She ties together key aspects of making a good arrangement: mixing color, form, shape, texture, and scale; being inspired by how plants and flowers combine in nature; using foliage and fruit for visual surprise; and much more. La historia de The Flower está ubicada en un futuro gris y hasta cierto punto agonizante; en él no se puede distinguir la noche del día, todos parecen estar tristes y cansados y no hay señales de color ni de naturaleza en ningún sitio. The Flower puede ser considerada una historia que va de ciencia ficción, el trasfondo es en principio triste y Lisa Evans ilustró de una forma excelente la obra para dar las sensaciones precisas de soledad y vacío, cuando el mundo gris empieza a mejorar, los brotes de color tienen la capacidad de dar una luz muy hermosa a las páginas. I didn't even think about how much money I had left. I didn't even bother to read the synopsis (like I usually do). I just bought it. This might be one of those magical moments where you got chosen by the book itself.

Brigg is a child living in a grey city. He works at the library, where he finds a book he isn't supposed to read. It's filled with pictures of flowers, which he hasn't seen before. If only he could find a flower in the city. Her directions are simple but also very clear and informative. The book is huge and well-photographed, so it’s easy to follow. The Flower Book explores 60 flowers, bloom-by-bloom in stunning portraiture. Lush macrophotography allows readers to see the details of each featured flower up close, from the amaryllis in spring, snapdragon in summer, and dahlia in fall to tropical wonders such as orchids and more.

A pesar de la carga de texto requiere orientación para los lectores menores de 6 o 7 años de edad, para que a través de la organización de actividades, preguntas o juegos, puedan hallar sentido a las imágenes grises del libro que pueden no llamar la atención de ellos a primera vista. En cuanto a lectores de 7 a 99 años es un libro ideal para leer, releer y explorar en las imágenes, ideal también para regalar y darnos cuenta lo afortunados que somos de poder ver flores y verdor por doquier, tener luz solar y distinguirla felizmente de la lunar.

There's also a suggestion of post-apocalyptic themes, with the environment changing so there aren't any plants in the city. It takes something pretty major to kill off all the weeds. Aquel libro contiene imágenes preciosas de flores, figuras que Brigg jamás había visto y es así como Brigg comienza la búsqueda a lo largo de la ciudad para hallar una flor, hasta que a través de una ventana de una tienda de chatarra ve un paquete con la imagen de una flor, Brigg lo adquiere para encontrar en su interior no la flor, sino semillas; las instrucciones marcan que se deben cubrir con tierra y añadir agua. I toyed with the idea of it being a static papercraft, but I just knew that this was a project that deserved movement. So, I devised a way (after much trial and error) to actually make the flowers burst out of the book! The book uses colour symbolism in which the city's dark hues could represent a possibly polluted future where people will not be familiar with natural life. The flower portrays a symbol of hope to Brigg who has the motivation to search for something better. The language use is simple but the choices of adjectives used throughout are interesting as have a significant impact on the meaning. Motifs also appear within the pictures and add a further element of interest when looking closer into the images as a collective whole. This one had never been on my wishlist. I didn't even know it exists. I was on my way to the cashier during a book fair named Big Bad Wolf when I walked past this book and my eyes caught a glimpse of a boy who stood in front of bookshelf and covered half of his face with a book which had flower on its cover.

Then, take the two smaller, rectangular pop-up pieces and fold along those score lines as shown in the second photo below. Estamos ante un futuro tan desolador que no sorprende el hecho de que Brigg tenga que recorrer la ciudad entera para encontrar suficiente tierra para llenar una taza. Gorgeous photographs throughout spotlight 30 sample floral arrangements that show how to design and build custom floral arrangements using featured blooms. Plus, a step-by-step techniques section walks beginners through the basics of foliage and fillers, bouquets, and arrangements to make this book as practical as it is beautiful.

Fold along the score lines and attach the bottom/top sides to the left/right sides using the tabs provided.The Flower inicia en cierta ciudad sombría, donde vive Brigg, un muchacho que trabaja en una librería. Cierto día, en una repisa alta en la bodega, encuentra algunos libros marcados con la leyenda "Do not read" (No leer) y movido por la curiosidad Brigg se lleva un ejemplar a casa. She also offers tips on how to prep flowers before arranging them (I had no idea this was even a thing…), and then she gives even more detailed instructions for creating front-facing arrangements, centerpieces, and hand-held bouquets. Attach the pop-up section to the interior of the book. Add your flowers, stems, and branches inside—all around the pop-up section.
