It focuses on a personal act of revolution, rather than trying to overthrow the system. Brigg can't change how the city runs, but he can try to grow a flower. The theme of finding a point of happiness when the world seems bleak will resonate with children going through tough times. Estamos ante un futuro tan desolador que no sorprende el hecho de que Brigg tenga que recorrer la ciudad entera para encontrar suficiente tierra para llenar una taza. Have you ever wondered how florists create such awe-inspiring floral arrangements that look like they’ve come straight out of a magazine? Well, now you can too!

En este mundo lo más parecido a la felicidad es la librería, único sitio donde hay personas sonriendo.

Then, take the two smaller, rectangular pop-up pieces and fold along those score lines as shown in the second photo below.

Supplies

Attach the smaller pieces to the larger one—where they will go over the top of the triangular sections that don’t have a crease through the middle. The Flower inicia en cierta ciudad sombría, donde vive Brigg, un muchacho que trabaja en una librería. Cierto día, en una repisa alta en la bodega, encuentra algunos libros marcados con la leyenda "Do not read" (No leer) y movido por la curiosidad Brigg se lleva un ejemplar a casa.

A deceptively simple and haunting story, beautifully and mysteriously illustrated, set in a bleak future metropolis. As a book-lover, this project is very close to my heart! I am really pleased with the overall look of both the book and the flowers within, and I hope you are too.

Brigg is a child living in a grey city. He works at the library, where he finds a book he isn't supposed to read. It's filled with pictures of flowers, which he hasn't seen before. If only he could find a flower in the city.

In this book, Pryke explores the process of how to move from the source of inspiration to the glorious finished flower arrangement. She ties together key aspects of making a good arrangement: mixing color, form, shape, texture, and scale; being inspired by how plants and flowers combine in nature; using foliage and fruit for visual surprise; and much more. In my opinion this book was a little creepy. I don't really think it is an appropriate picture book for younger ages. I did not care for the illustrations because they were so dark. Brigg looked like a character from a haunted house. It looked like he had dark eyeliner on and everything about him seemed eerie. The only color in this book was basically the flower. The illustrations did not pop and I couldn't really connect with them. Otra imagen inquietante es al extremo de la ciudad donde sólo hay colinas de polvo que se acumulan; en el cielo se ve una esfera de luz que tomamos por la Luna pero también puede ser tomada por el Sol oculto tras una capa densa de polución.

How to Make It

A pesar de la carga de texto requiere orientación para los lectores menores de 6 o 7 años de edad, para que a través de la organización de actividades, preguntas o juegos, puedan hallar sentido a las imágenes grises del libro que pueden no llamar la atención de ellos a primera vista. En cuanto a lectores de 7 a 99 años es un libro ideal para leer, releer y explorar en las imágenes, ideal también para regalar y darnos cuenta lo afortunados que somos de poder ver flores y verdor por doquier, tener luz solar y distinguirla felizmente de la lunar. John Light creates a dystopian society through his use of color. The bad parts of the world are done in a solitary and sad gray. The pictures are very depressing, not child friendly in my opinion. To show the good in the society, he added color to people and things. These are very bold indicators of the good and bad. The shadow around the people's eyes show the depressing tone of the story. The illustrations dramatically change as Brigg's flower grew. The flower in this story I think represents freedom. The illustrations are very bland without color and all of a sudden when the flower comes into play there is color and the flower is the only thing that remains color. The main character also becomes happier when seeing the flower. So I also think the flower represent happiness. I think that children can relate and catch these themes because of the color scheme.
