Bookroo's summary
Fran is determined to make her flower bloom, trying everything from pizza to ice cream. But the stubborn bud refuses to grow. Just as Fran is about to give up, nature intervenes with sunshine and rain. Will Fran's flower finally flourish, or is there more to learn about nurturing life? Discover the surprising twist in this charming tale of persistence and discovery.
From the publisher
One day Fran found a flowerpot filled with soil. “I will grow this flower,” Fran said. “Grow flower.” But the tips stayed tiny. Fran is determined to get her flower bud to grow. But what do you feed a fussy flower? Fran figures that the flower will flourish on her own favorite foods–pizza, spaghetti, even strawberry ice cream! But the stubborn bud refuses to bloom. Finally, Fran discovers that a meal fit for a girl isn’t necessarily a meal fit for a flower. Just when she gets fed up, Mother Nature steps in with a smorgasborg of sunshine and rain…Won’t Fran be surprised!
