Hardcover. * 2022 NYC BIG BOOK AWARD WINNER * 2022 WORLD ILLUSTRATION AWARDS SHORTLIST "Kitty O'Meara's The Rare, Tiny Flower, illustrated by Quim Torres, relies on metaphor to introduce children to the often trivial reasons for war." The New York Times Kitty O'Meara is the poet laureate of the pandemicThe Observer The Rare Tiny Flower speaks to both adults and children. 10thirtysix, Milwaukee PBS This timely and timeless tale by Kitty OMeara, like her best-selling book about the pandemic, And the People Stayed Home, offers wisdom relevant to difficult current situations and provides hope for resolution and growth. The Rare, Tiny Flower is a beautifully produced picture book that explores themes of difference, divisiveness, tolerance, and unity as well as the agency of children through a thoughtful parable told in rhyming verse and accompanied by deeply felt illustrations. This rhyming poem features a mysterious flower in the midst of a forest that appears as a different color to each viewer, which leads to escalating strife as everyone insists that their vision is right. World leaders and even botanists are unable to agree on the nature of the flower, and declare war as a way to resolve the conflict. It takes the vision and bravery of a young girl to point out that the flower is, in fact, quite multi-dimensional. Remarkably, she has the ability to be heard by the squabbling masses, who then see beyond their fighting and begin to rebuild bridges of communication and commit to connecting with one another and respecting varying points of view. Kitty OMearas thoughtful poem includes people realizing and voicing this important lesson: Maybe there are other colors to see; whats lovely to you could be lovely to me. OMeara is the author of a bestselling book about the pandemic, And the People Stayed Home, based on her poem that went viral. The Rare, Tiny Flower also speaks to current world events as well as truths about human nature. OMearas wise words are paired with evocative illustrations by Quim Torres. When a strange flower causes strife in her town, a young girl, solving its mystery, uses her voice to get people to see beyond their fighting and come together, in this thoughtful poem, told in the form of a parable.
