Florette

　　搬了家的小女孩想念她的花園，以及在花園中徜徉的舊日時光。但這座城市容不下一座花園，還是，她能達成她的願望？



　　Mae跟家人搬到了新家，但她希望可以把舊家她那心愛的花園一起帶走。她想念她的蘋果樹、水仙花，還有在草地上追逐蝴蝶的時光。但在這座新城市裡，沒有地方可以設置一個花園了，還是說，有一個神秘的地方可以？

　　

　　Mae的故事，加上水彩繪製的華麗插圖，面對複雜的世界，《Florette》是一個紀念純純友誼的動人小故事。(文/博客來編譯)

A beautiful picture book celebration of friendship, resilience in the face of change, and the magic of the natural world.

When Mae’s family moves to a new home, she wishes she could bring her garden with her. She’ll miss the apple trees, the daffodils, and chasing butterflies in the wavy grass.

But there’s no room for a garden in the city. Or is there?

Mae’s story, gorgeously illustrated in watercolor, is a good match for kids interested in the environment, as well as any child going through a move.
