The Flowerdrops Patrick Gilmour

It is late springtime, and a million petals fall from the flowering trees as our storyteller wanders the streets remembering a girl called Harriet who has recently come and gone in his life.

The Flowerdrops is a poignant and vibrantly illustrated book about loss, grief and recovery, set in nature's season of reawakening. In simple and poetic language, it gently guides the reader on a journey through the beauty of one springtime's end-and toward the knowledge of how life's most painful feeling must sometimes be experienced but will always end in time.

Magnificently illustrated with original paintings by award-winning artist, Aubrey Roemer, The Flowerdrops will be appreciated by children aged 8+ and adults of all ages.

'We had flowerdrops last night. Down they came, just like moth wings fluttering in the street light, tumbling to the ground. There wasn't a sound. Everyone in town was hiding. "We want to watch this alone," they said. And so, I'm sure no one slept though it was very late...' (from the text)
