Illustrated Book – The Frightened Little Flower Bud

Illustrated Book – The Frightened Little Flower Bud

The ‘Frighted Little Flower Bud’ is written and illustrated by Renée Paule and G R Hewitt. The story is about a little flower bud who is so afraid of all the things she hears on the wind that she hides behind her leaves and petals imagining all sorts of scary things that might happen to her. Because of her fears, she doesn’t want to bloom – thereby preventing herself from reaching her full potential as a beautiful flower. However, eventually she blooms and realises that all of her fears were unfounded.

Designed as a ‘read-to’ book for age 4+ and ‘read-alone’ for age 8+ this tale helps children to understand that though some things may sound scary, all too often these fears have no substance. It also helps children to understand how scary thoughts accumulate in our minds.
