Description:

Flower Children the Little Cousins of the Field and Garden is a touching collection of poems published for the first time in 1910. The book contains flower poems and colorful illustrations of 82 flowers. All flowers are arranged in the order of their appearance in the garden during the year. Besides, each picture consists of a flower and a child so children would be interested in finding themselves close to the nature and flowers. As it is said, children are flowers in our life and flowers can be easily added to the image of children. Children are flowers and flowers are children. And they make the life wonderful. In the words of God, they are closely connected and can save the world.
