搬了家的小女孩想念她的花園,以及在花園中徜徉的舊日時光。但這座城市容不下一座花園,還是,她能達成她的願望?
Mae跟家人搬到了新家,但她希望可以把舊家她那心愛的花園一起帶走。她想念她的蘋果樹、水仙花,還有在草地上追逐蝴蝶的時光。但在這座新城市裡,沒有地方可以設置一個花園了,還是說,有一個神秘的地方可以?
Mae的故事,加上水彩繪製的華麗插圖,面對複雜的世界,《Florette》是一個紀念純純友誼的動人小故事。(文/博客來編譯)
When Mae’s family moves to a new home, she wishes she could bring her garden with her. She’ll miss the apple trees, the daffodils, and chasing butterflies in the wavy grass. But there’s no room for a garden in the city. Or is there?
Mae’s story, gorgeously illustrated in watercolor, is a celebration of friendship, resilience in the face of change, and the magic of the natural world.

"This quietly told and beautifully illustrated story will resonate with other children who have been uprooted, but hope to flourish in a new home."--Booklist, review
"A worthy addition to the canon of books depicting young gardeners transforming spaces and lives."--School Library Journal, review
