Holly Bloom wants to be a great gardener but she doesn’t seem to have the knack. Despite
suggestions and support from her mom Iris, and her siblings Bud and Rose — all great flower-growers — Holly just can't seem to get her garden to bloom. She tries water and fertilizer, uses all the right tools, even paints her thumb green, but her daisies keep drooping. Through trial-and-error and with great perseverance, Holly finally realizes that she does not need to grow flowers with soil and seeds. Inspired by her artistic father, she taps into her natural creative abilities and surprises everyone by “growing” her own unique flowers from paper and paste, pipe cleaners and paint, and best of all, these flowers are made especially by Holly Bloom.


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 — even if that makes you a late bloomer.

"...a sweet story about a young girl who persists despite multiple failures,
finally finding her own unique way to shine.... pleasing to the ear, eye, and
mind."
     Dawn Elizabeth Hunt, Children's Literature

"...Colorfully illustrated...[with] a surprise and happy ending."
     Dan Vierria, Sacramento Bee
