Submitted by special guest blogger Ms. Karen from the Lexington Park branch!Are you a push-over for a great children’s picture book? Then pick up a copy of The Flower Man by Mark Ludy. A delightful wordless picture book, The Flower Man is the story of a bright-eyed old man (drawn in color) who moves into a dreary, unfriendly neighborhood (drawn in black and white), and proceeds to change it one person at a time through his generosity–and his flowers! As the Flower Man’s influence spreads, each page becomes brighter, and the highly detailed pictures which tell the stories of the town’s inhabitants will engage a child’s story-expanding imagination. Whether enjoyed together or “read” by a child alone, The Flower Man is sure to brighten your world too! See this book listed in our catalog
