Katie gets flower bulbs from Nana for her birthday. Mama helps her plant them. Everybody keeps talking about her flower bulbs, but Katie doesn’t see any flowers. She keeps wondering where they are. Will Katie ever get to see the flowers? Join her as she waits and wonders about the miracle of growing things. A 32-page softcover picture book primarily for pre-schoolers. Review on Amazon by Mom by the Bay: Katie receives a present from her nana, but to her bafflement, the package content looks like trash. Her mama reassures her that the homely looking things will someday be ‘flowers.’ Turns out these are bulbs, which Katie will proceed to plant in the ground and wait. And wait. And wait some more. Evelyn Christensen, (THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS IN KENTUCKY/ Sterling 2016) is both author and illustrator of this simply told and charmingly illustrated tale. The art compliments the story perfectly, and children will love following the puzzled Katie as she wonders how, when and if--- her grandma’s present would ever resemble the promised loveliness. Dedication: "This book is dedicated to my grandchildren who will hopefully always love the flowers, to Mom who loved the flowers and taught me to love them, and to God who created the flowers."
