Sort your flower pieces. There are 3 large flowers comprised of 8 main pieces (with slightly pointer petals), and 5 center pieces (3 white, and 2 of a different color). Layer your flower pieces from largerest to smallest. Layer the center pieces together, with the colored piece in the middle, and attach it to the inside of your flower. The illustrations I didn’t connect well and also don’t think children will either. The characters don’t look happy from the beginning. The colors set a mood of sadness and depression. The main character lives alone and his room doesn’t look homey at all. He lives alone and look very young for his age to be living alone. There are a total of 12 daisies (6 white, 2 pink, 2 yellow, and 2 blue). To make a daisy, simply layer together to pieces of the same size, and attach the center piece. There's also a suggestion of post-apocalyptic themes, with the environment changing so there aren't any plants in the city. It takes something pretty major to kill off all the weeds. The flower in this story I think represents freedom. The illustrations are very bland without color and all of a sudden when the flower comes into play there is color and the flower is the only thing that remains color. The main character also becomes happier when seeing the flower. So I also think the flower represent happiness. I think that children can relate and catch these themes because of the color scheme.

In my opinion this book was a little creepy. I don't really think it is an appropriate picture book for younger ages. I did not care for the illustrations because they were so dark. Brigg looked like a character from a haunted house. It looked like he had dark eyeliner on and everything about him seemed eerie. The only color in this book was basically the flower. The illustrations did not pop and I couldn't really connect with them. The book uses colour symbolism in which the city's dark hues could represent a possibly polluted future where people will not be familiar with natural life. The flower portrays a symbol of hope to Brigg who has the motivation to search for something better. The language use is simple but the choices of adjectives used throughout are interesting as have a significant impact on the meaning. Motifs also appear within the pictures and add a further element of interest when looking closer into the images as a collective whole. As a book-lover, this project is very close to my heart! I am really pleased with the overall look of both the book and the flowers within, and I hope you are too. The Flower inicia en cierta ciudad sombría, donde vive Brigg, un muchacho que trabaja en una librería. Cierto día, en una repisa alta en la bodega, encuentra algunos libros marcados con la leyenda "Do not read" (No leer) y movido por la curiosidad Brigg se lleva un ejemplar a casa.

How to Make It

My yard might not look so great this year due to the drought; but, here in my craft room, things are in full bloom! Whether you are an avid reader, a flower fanatic, or both, you are sure to love my pop-up flower book. En este mundo lo más parecido a la felicidad es la librería, único sitio donde hay personas sonriendo. I toyed with the idea of it being a static papercraft, but I just knew that this was a project that deserved movement. So, I devised a way (after much trial and error) to actually make the flowers burst out of the book! Brigg deberá recorrer de nuevo toda la ciudad para poder recolectar un poco de polvo para sus semillas y así poder ver nacer su flor, la primera que el mundo ha visto en mucho tiempo. It focuses on a personal act of revolution, rather than trying to overthrow the system. Brigg can't change how the city runs, but he can try to grow a flower. The theme of finding a point of happiness when the world seems bleak will resonate with children going through tough times.

Her directions are simple but also very clear and informative. The book is huge and well-photographed, so it’s easy to follow. Estamos ante un futuro tan desolador que no sorprende el hecho de que Brigg tenga que recorrer la ciudad entera para encontrar suficiente tierra para llenar una taza. Gorgeous photographs throughout spotlight 30 sample floral arrangements that show how to design and build custom floral arrangements using featured blooms. Plus, a step-by-step techniques section walks beginners through the basics of foliage and fillers, bouquets, and arrangements to make this book as practical as it is beautiful. She also offers tips on how to prep flowers before arranging them (I had no idea this was even a thing…), and then she gives even more detailed instructions for creating front-facing arrangements, centerpieces, and hand-held bouquets.A separate section of the book discusses the ins and outs of tools and equipment, and the volume is rounded out with a catalogue of flowers organized into thematic types, which eases searching for the ideal flower – or alternates if the desired one is unavailable. Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. Grab the book cover and fold along the score lines.

Add any other embellishments or decorations you’d like your book to have.
