This is the best book for understanding how this method of healing works and want the intentions of the flowers are. Often it is the adults that need help as much as the children.

I bought this book for two reasons: 1. For the perspective on what imbalances look like specifically in children, and 2. For the stories included in each chapter that are supposed to be supportive in treatment of children.
The book did meet my expectations in regard to the first point. Since children often express imbalances differently than adults, I do feel like I will be able to reference this book often when working with kids. It was also helpful to read advice like, “this type of child would benefit from breath work like blowing bubbles” or “this type of child is best not pushed into intense, competitive sports”.
The second reason for buying the book failed almost entirely. The stories are not the kind I would read to my children, as they are filled with sorcery, witches, horoscopes, etc. I don’t mind imaginative trips into fairy land, but these stories teetered on the edge of new age spiritualism in my opinion.
I was pleasantly surprised to find affirmations for each flower in each chapter. Those are helpful, and put into language most children can understand.
