They may not seem active to human eyes, but for the creatures of the garden they dust a bumblebee, shade a frog, feed a hummingbird, and serve as the center of a buzzing, humming, thrumming community.In A Flower is a Friend, awardwinning author Frieda Wishinsky’s spare text whispers softly to readers about the many ways a flower cares for those around it, while awardwinning illustrator Karen Patkau’s striking art provides a closeup view of each mouse, frog, and butterfly within a blossom’s embrace. Rich back matter unfurls further information about the partnerships within the garden ecosystem, including the ways these garden creatures are friends to flowers in return.
