A warm collection of timeless flower legends invites young listeners into a garden where blossoms speak, sing, and guard secrets. Each tale is told in a gentle, lyrical voice that feels like a bedtime story whispered under moonlight. The book weaves mythic creatures—angels, fairies, even gods—into the everyday lives of roses, tulips, and mosses, showing how nature and magic intertwine.
Readers meet the Moss Rose, a shy blossom that receives a protective veil of green moss from a grateful angel, and the tulips that cradle fairy babies, keeping their colors forever bright. A brave knight’s daring rescue gives us the blue forget‑me‑not, while the goddess Venus’ tears bloom into red and white roses that mark love and loss. The final legend explains how the rowan’s scarlet berries become talismans for children, keeping mischievous sprites at bay. Together, these sweet stories celebrate curiosity, kindness, and the wonder of watching a flower grow.
