Kylie's Blossoms

KYLIE’S BLOSSOMS

Meet twelve floral friends from the woods who teach Kylie some life lessons.

Richly illustrated with the colors of the seasons, this tender hearted story is about a seven year old girl, Kylie, and her teddy bear. Each month in the year the two meet a new floral friend with wonderful lessons to share such as the value of:

Loyalty * Constancy * Positive Energy * Hope * Trust * Love * Peace *

Dignity * Protectiveness * Graciousness * Encouragement * Happiness

Both short format design, with seasonal interest, and colorful, whimsical illustrations will make this book a family favorite, to be treasured through the years.

Intended Audience: Children and those who are young at heart. Each of Kylie’s twelve Blossoms offer a beautiful and concise lesson for the reader.

Field Tested Topic: Since May, 2011, I have shared one of Kylie’s monthly adventures with my 300 followers in the HubPages community. The following are a sampling of the comments that have inspired me to pursue a broader publication:

· “Your Kylie series has such a fairytale quality that encompasses both the charm of the hundred acre woods, and the imagination of wonderland. Kylie finds peace in her woods and I wouldn’t be surprised to stumble upon Thoreau at the end of a trail.” (Michael Friedman, Illustrator)

· “I love this series of Kylie. It is a wonderful way of teaching children lessons of life and nature.” (Rosemary S)

· “You capture the raw innocence and driving curiosity of a young girl. Well done and magical!” (Tammy M)

· “I read this to the neighborhood children and we all loved it. Their little faces lit up and they all want more. I’m scoring points!” (Audrey H)

· “The language of flowers has a long history. I love the new tapestry you have woven from very old threads.” (Stessily)

A little girl is very blessed when she learns good life lessons from her Mother. The Author was a very blessed little girl. May the lessons of this book help those little girls who are not as blessed and remind those who are to be grateful.
