This perfectly told story is rooted in family love. Blossom is missing her grandparents, who died recently, and within weeks of one another. She’s also worried that her parents are going to split up: running her grandma’s flower stall is putting lots of pressure on her mum, and there doesn’t seem to be a way out.
Blossom can’t bear the thought of her parents separating, but she loves the Peacham Garden Flower Market too. Like her plants however, Blossom’s family find a way to grow through all the problems, and they become even stronger. Laura Dockrill tells the story with a sweetness and a simplicity - the book is published by Dyslexia specialists Barrington Stoke - but there’s real depth to this exploration of family relationships, resilience and community.
Illustrations by Sara Ogilvie add to its appeal and this is a book readers will return to again and again.
Blossom has grown up surrounded by the beautiful plants and flowers from her family's market stall. The stall was started by her grandparents, Tutu and Pops, and passed on to Blossom's parents after their death. It's a magical place where customers come to find flowers for all occasions: from celebrating love to offering comfort in times of sorrow. But now the stall is at risk, with tension rising as Blossom's parents argue about the future.
