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. The Flower Book spotlights 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. When Brigg discovers a book in the library labelled "Do Not Read", he cannot resist taking it home. It leads him to an unexpected discovery, which brings brightness and beauty to the inhabitants of a previously dull and dismal world. The illustrations I didn’t connect well and also don’t think children will either. The characters don’t look happy from the beginning. The colors set a mood of sadness and depression. The main character lives alone and his room doesn’t look homey at all. He lives alone and look very young for his age to be living alone. En este mundo lo más parecido a la felicidad es la librería, único sitio donde hay personas sonriendo.

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. It focuses on a personal act of revolution, rather than trying to overthrow the system. Brigg can't change how the city runs, but he can try to grow a flower. The theme of finding a point of happiness when the world seems bleak will resonate with children going through tough times. Este álbum tiene una cantidad mínima de texto, imágenes que cubren la página entera. La historia posee una gran sensibilidad e ilustraciones hechizantes y mágicas, misteriosas y sombrías. 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.Explore 60 flowers, bloom by bloom, in stunning portraiture with lush macrophotography that showcases the details of each flower, and learn how to arrange flowers with different styles, tips, and techniques. 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. 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 deceptively simple and haunting story, beautifully and mysteriously illustrated, set in a bleak future metropolis.

The flower in this story I think represents freedom. The illustrations are very bland without color and all of a sudden when the flower comes into play there is color and the flower is the only thing that remains color. The main character also becomes happier when seeing the flower. So I also think the flower represent happiness. I think that children can relate and catch these themes because of the color scheme.The eerie illustrations show the state of the future environment which exposes the problems with society and the over-urbanisation of our planet. However, the book does depict a hopeful ending through the final image. This image could usefully be studied by pupils who could make inferences on how the story continues based upon the final illustration in the book.

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. In my opinion this book was a little creepy. I don't really think it is an appropriate picture book for younger ages. I did not care for the illustrations because they were so dark. Brigg looked like a character from a haunted house. It looked like he had dark eyeliner on and everything about him seemed eerie. The only color in this book was basically the flower. The illustrations did not pop and I couldn't really connect with them. 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. Brigg deberá recorrer de nuevo toda la ciudad para poder recolectar un poco de polvo para sus semillas y así poder ver nacer su flor, la primera que el mundo ha visto en mucho tiempo. 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.John Light creates a dystopian society through his use of color. The bad parts of the world are done in a solitary and sad gray. The pictures are very depressing, not child friendly in my opinion. To show the good in the society, he added color to people and things. These are very bold indicators of the good and bad. The shadow around the people's eyes show the depressing tone of the story. The illustrations dramatically change as Brigg's flower grew. Her directions are simple but also very clear and informative. The book is huge and well-photographed, so it’s easy to follow. 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.
