Holly Bloom wants to be a great gardener but she doesn’t seem to have the knack. Despite suggestions and support from her family – all great flower-growers – Holly just can't seem to get her garden to bloom. She tries almost everything but her daisies keep drooping. Through trial-and-error and with great perseverance, Holly figures out a way to grow her garden in her own way.
The cover image of Holly measuring herself against a tall sunflower encapsulates her yearning to see how she measures up against the excellent gardeners in her family. This charming book uses playful language to teach plenty about gardening, but more about the joy of being yourself and finding your own true talents.

Life’s Building Blocks
The Spruce Street Six™ are close friends that get into some difficult situations. They work together, along with the guidance of Zaki the Character Chameleon™, who changes color to help them make right choices. Whenever they face a moral dilemma the reader will be privy to their internal dialogue. This will show WHAT they decide, HOW they decide it, and WHY. At the end of each story, in the “Something to think about” pages, Zaki™ explains different ways to look at the moral dilemmas and decisions presented in each book. Each story is fun and engaging and gives the child something to think about and put into use in his or her own life. It’s a wonderful jumping off point to get a conversation started about how to do the right thing when it may not always be the easiest thing to do.
