Description

An ode to the wonderful diversity of flowers (and their young admirers), this colorful, chunky board book is a work of art meant to be displayed face-out on nursery bookshelves.

Every page turn of this chunky board book reveals a new layer of Helen Dardik's bright, graphic depiction of a garden in bloom. A gentle introduction to diversity and acceptance, this rhyming story reminds readers that every kind of flower needs its own mix of sunshine, water, and soil to blossom...and that each flower's unique beauty is an extraordinary delight. You're a perfect flower, blooming exactly as you should, adding your special color to the garden of the world!

Grow Your Own Way is part of the LAYERED VIEW board book series celebrating the ways in which our differences make the world a diverse place. Whether examining the unique needs of every flower in a garden or the special qualities of every puppy in a dog park, every die-cut page of a LAYERED VIEW book adds a level to the story--all building to one gorgeous, multi-dimensional scene perfect for displaying on a bookshelf or a bedroom shelf. Rich with special effects like foil and embossing, LAYERED VIEW board books are a beautiful, playful way to introduce new perspectives to the little learners in your life.

About the Author

Helen Dardik is a professional illustrator and a surface pattern designer based in Canada. Vibrant, folksy, playful toomuchery is a perfect way to describe her style.

Born by the Black Sea, Helen lived in Siberia for a time and then moved to Israel, where she studied art and design. In the early 1990s she relocated to Canada, where she got a graphic design degree and found work as a designer and illustrator.

Her books include The Magical Unicorn Society Official Handbook.

Critical Reviews

"The lush, vibrant, minutely detailed illustrations will capture the curiosity of very young readers: The birds and insects that dot the pages are particularly impressive."-- "Kirkus Reviews" (1/15/2023 12:00:00 AM)
