By Erin Dealey, Kate Cosgrove (Illustrator)
A grumpy neighbor's unwanted flowers spread unexpected joy. Can Izzy win him over?
Izzy's neighbor is grumpy and dismisses the flowers invading his garden. Tasked with removing them, Izzy spreads the blooms throughout town, bringing unexpected joy. As the flowers brighten lives, can Izzy convince the neighbor to embrace the friendship they symbolize? Discover how a simple act of kindness can transform a community and a heart.
Izzy’s new neighbor is a bit of a grump–though they are both botanically inclined. When the neighbor discovers unwanted flowers–again and again–in his precious rose garden, he bids Izzy to take them away. Izzy does–and uses the blooms to brighten someone else’s day. Before long, the town is bursting with Izzy’s flowers. The grumpy neighbor doesn’t see the fuss. “They’re JUST FLOWERS!” he yells. “Just flowers” that brought joy and color to everyone in town. Can Izzy finally get that neighbor to accept the bloom of friendship? Back matter includes a seek-and-find and information on the flowers mentioned in the book.
