Description

Acclaimed author Laura Dockrill sows seeds of hope and community at the flower market in this heartfelt, lyrical tale of family life and change.

Blossom has grown up surrounded by the beautiful plants and flowers from her family's market stall. The stall was started by her grandparents, Tutu and Pops, and passed on to Blossom's parents after their death. It's a magical place where customers come to find flowers for all occasions: from celebrating love to offering comfort in times of sorrow. But now the stall is at risk, with tension rising as Blossom's parents argue about the future. Can Blossom call on the lessons she learned from Tutu and find a way to cope with the dramatic changes that are happening around her. Can she save the flower stall?

Acclaimed author Laura Dockrill sows seeds of hope and community at the flower market in this heartfelt, lyrical tale of family life and change. This book features a dyslexia-friendly layout and font, and illustrations throughout so that even more readers can enjoy it.

"A heartfelt family story" - The Bookseller

"This is a story rich with layers relating to the impact of change, but more importantly, it is all about how memories of happy family times can help with on-going anxieties ... another triumph for the wonderful Barrington Stoke Publishing team" - The Letterpress Project

"A beautiful and heartfelt story ... Laura has such a way of bringing heart-warming stories to the reader. Her talent for capturing the heart and realistic lives throughout her lyrical words and accessible style is just stunning ... There needs to be more Blossoms in the world" - Emma Suffield, librarian

"A beautiful, empathy-building story that helps readers understand the fear of parents fighting and the sadness of the loss of a grandparent ... Blossom carries the wonderful message that it's a blessing when we break into pieces - it gives us a chance to rebuild" - Scope for Imagination, blog

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
