The Flower Girl

Description

With soft, sweet illustrations and rhyming text, this picturebook covers all the excitement of a wedding, from morning preparations to reception celebrations-the perfect present for any young flower girl.

Author Bio: Laura Godwin, also known as Nola Buck, is the author of many popular picture books for children, including Oh, Cats!; One Moon, Two Cats; and Christmas in the Manger. She is also the author of the best-selling The Doll People series with Ann M. Martin. Born and raised in Alberta, Canada, she now lives in New York City. Illustrator Bio: Although John Wallace studied theology at Cambridge University, he always loved drawing. While working at the British Museum, he sharpened his craft by drawing artifacts to scale. As a children's book illustrator, he is particularly inspired by "the gooniness" of young school children. John and his family divide their time between Brighton, England and Long Island, New York.

"Using rhyming verse, this sweet little book describes a wedding from a flower girl's point of view. . . . Delicate watercolors done in pastel shades punctuated by black and white capture the action."--School Library Journal
