Giveaway Just Begun - Open to Everyone!
Hi Everyone.
A giveaway for a paperback copy of 'The Frightened Little Flower Bud' has just begun. Please note that this is an American spelling version Enter here.
This book is for ages 4 to 99+
The story begins with a seed landing in a pretty garden where it begins to grow and eventually forms a little flower bud. But, the little flower bud becomes frightened of things she ‘hears on the wind’; such as the sun that might scorch her petals, the rain that might spoil them, the wind that might blow them away - so the flower doesn’t want to bloom. However, all flowers must bloom, and as the little flower bud opens her petals she overcomes her fears one by one.
The more we think about our fears, the more they overwhelm us. This book teaches children (of all ages) that fear is just a feeling that holds them back from living their lives to the full.
To add to the fun and develop observational skills there’s a ‘Did You See?’ activity page at the back with objects from the book that children may not have noticed whilst reading it. There are also some simple questions that can be asked of children, encouraging them to think about what they’ve read. The skill level required is ‘easy’.
Good luck to you :)

Giveaway Complaint! Again!
My giveaway for two copies of On The Other Hand finished several minutes ago and yet AGAIN the winners entered in the LAST MINUTE - this happens for all my giveaways. As Goodreads closes giveaways at 8.00am (UK Time) odds are winners will be in the Unites States, which the majority of my winners are - both in this case. Goodreads, you're not listening and your system is not fair to ALL entrants.
Please see previous threads on this subject. First one is here.

Much love as always <3
