Description:
Alison’s Zinnia combines flowers and friendship as children “wander” through an alphabetical garden. While common plants abound, such as roses and tulips, others – less well known – including lady’s slipper and jack-in-the-pulpit, are also introduced. Beautiful paintings accompany the text.
