Summary: Brilliant simplicity
Review: A beautiful story - I want to say ahead of it's time. But that's not correct. Today. This is its time. Now - we are the flowers, and there is hope for us all :-)

Summary: Hope for life...
Review: One of my sons school counselors read this book at a tea. I went with my sons girlfriend who didn't have a mother. The book touched me... and her. Since that time, I have given this book to anyone who needed to believe in themselves. I still believe it always touches me more than the person I give the book too... because it always makes me remember there is hope... for whatever you want in life. My favorite "personal quote" to my children..."Live each day as a wonderful new adventure in your life... YOU write the story!" This book gives you the guidlines of writing your own story, or how to live the mistake of allowing others to write it for you. A great gift of inspiration!

Summary: My 9 yr old daughter discovers 'Hope for the Flowers'
Review: While my daughter, a 3rd grader was trying to find a book to use for a report, she discovered my 20 yr old copy of 'Hope for the Flowers' from a college course. She went off and read it, came back and told me how much she liked the book. Her understanding of the story was of course at a much simpler level, quite sweet. She adores Stripe and Yellow. It became a natural opportunity to have conversations about what is important, what 'getting to the top' might mean and so forth. Throughout the story there is so much symbolism that you don't want to rush through it. There are so many parallels between the book and what goes on everyday in our lives. I have given this book many times as a gift in the past. Now I'm going to buy up some more copies so my daughter and I can give them out. I'm looking forward to the audio version and Trina's website.
