How to Grow Flowers

The Little One was commissioned by one of her friends to draw pictures for a book about how to grow flowers. My first question was, of course, “How can you draw pictures for a book that hasn’t been written yet?”

That was the Little One’s question, too. But she drew the pictures, and explained each one to me. And I thought that made a wonderful little sequence all by itself.

So I scanned the pictures and am posting them here, with the Little One’s words.

Enjoy!
