What a sweet story! Through her picture book Tashi and the Tibetan Flower Cure, Naomi Rose spins a tale of love between Tashi and her grandfather. Rose’s jewel-toned acrylic paintings also wonderfully capture the growing sense of community. Tashi and the Tibetan Flower Cure should appeal to young readers, whatever their culture.

The story of a girl who uses flowers to help heal her grandfather, taken from a "Chicken Soup" book, forms the basis of this book. Although her "Popola" is at first doubtful that the cure will work in America the same way it worked in Tibet, Tashi perseveres and her Popola ends up not only in better health but with a community of people who love him.

Tashi’s grandfather is not well. He used to tell her stories of how people in his village were cured by flowers. Tashi makes arrangements with a local nursery to bring her grandfather to sit among the flowers to make him better. He agrees but doesn’t get better. Mr. Wong the nursery owner asks him to come back the next week. When they go back the next week they serve all of the customer tea and cookies. People come to talk with him. In Tibet, people sit and visit in the gardens. This is what the...more
Tashi wants nothing more than to help Popola, her Tibetan grandfather, get better. His cough is getting worse and the doctor isn't able to make things better. Tashi's mother tells her about the flower cure, which the people of Popola's village believe can cure sickness. Tashi finds a local flower nursery and convinces her family to visit on Saturday. They visit several times, making friends, and letting the flower pollen brush over Popola. Finallly, Popola starts to get better, and Tashi is reli...more
Pictures pretty. Confusing though..at first you do not realize the setting is the US....not sure either why the flower shop had to be owned by someone named Wong...given the current political tension it is curious that the "cure" takes place in a flower shop owned by someone clearly Chinese or is that to show that on this side of the pond, we can all get along? (which is of course true but seems a bit odd just the same).
A fine book if looking at grandchild/grandparent relationships...

Tashi's grandfather is sick, she is very worried about him. She remembers him telling her about the flower cure from his homeland and she is anxious to try it. She gets the help of a local grower and what starts out as a family affair becomes a neighbor learning how to love. Through the love her grandfather is healed.
The illistrations are like a chalk drawing and add to the uniqueness of the story. Tashi teaches you to look beyond yourself and invite other to help.

I thought this was a beautiful story.
Tashi's popola (grandfather) is sick. He fondly remembers living in Tibet and the healing properties of flowers. He shares his memories with Tashi and she tries to help him heal with flowers.
I loved the affection and love between Tashi and her grandfather. Her desire to help him brings a community closer together.

This is a wonderful story about a little girl who wants her grandfather to recover from his sickness. She is persistent to heal him using the Tibetan Flower Cure. Her love and compassion make the story beautiful and a perfect example for young children to follow. I thought the information about Tibet and its culture at the end of the book was really interesting and fun to learn.
Beautiful story about a granddaughter trying to find a remedy for her beloved grandfather's illness.
The description pretty much sums up this book. It's a charming story, told in free verse, about a little girl's love for her grandfather, illustrated in vivid colour by the author. Even as an adult, I know very little about Tibetan culture. This book highlights one aspect of that culture in a way that's easy for kids (and adults) to grasp. The message was sweet without being sappy, and the pictures were pleasant to look at. I think I would have enjoyed this book when I was a child.

A beautiful story in which Tashi holds fast to the hope that an ancient flower remedy from her grandfather's ("Popola") homeland of Tibet will help cure his serious illness. While he warns Tashi that the flower remedy may not work in the United States, The remedy seems to have a wonderful way of bringing people together.
Beautifully written text and gorgeous illustrations help make this a sweet and moving story. I recommend as a good read aloud for 1st thru 3rd grade.
