Book excerpt: While we might often see and appreciate the beauty of flowers, we don't always see and appreciate the beauty in other human beings and how differences make us beautiful. The Two Flowers is a story about what can happen when two flowers are treated differently. It aims to educate children on real-world issues by using two flowers as the main characters in the story and taking implied terms such as unconscious bias, discrimination, privilege, preference, and prejudice and translating them in a visual way children and others can hopefully understand. Terms illustrated by an unseen presence in the story which guides the decisions regarding how each flower is treated based on privilege, preference, and bias (conscious or unconscious). The Two Flowers demonstrates how each of us uses a particular set of lenses to perceive the world around us, and how having critical conversations with young children is vital to navigating how they understand difference.

Book excerpt: We’ve all seen red roses, blue irises, and yellow daffodils. But when we really look closely at a flower, whole new worlds of beauty and intricacy emerge. Using a unique process that far surpasses conventional macro photography, Robert Llewellyn shows us details that few of us have ever seen: the amazing architecture of stamens and pistils; the subtle shadings on a petal; the secret recesses of nectar tubes. Complementing Llewellyn’s stunning photographs are Teri Dunn Chace’s lyrical, illuminating essays. By highlighting the features that distinguish twenty-eight of the most common families of flowering plants, Chace gives us fascinating insights into the natural history of flowers, such as the relationship between pollinators and floral form and color. At the same time she gives us a deeper appreciation of why and how flowers have become so deeply embedded in human culture. Whether you’re a nature lover, a gardener, a photography buff, or someone who simply responds to the timeless beauty and variety of the floral world, Seeing Flowers will be a source of enduring delight.
