Sunday Times Children’s Book of the Week
“Accompanied by beautiful, uncluttered digital images against lots of white space, Jarvis’ simple, gentle story gives adults room to explain David’s hardship to young readers in their own ways. A sweet example of how to be a kind and supportive presence in the life of a struggling friend.” KIRKUS
David is the boy with flowers in his hair. He’s sweet and gentle, just like his petals. But when David’s flowers begin to fall – a single petal at first, then every last blossom – his best friend never leaves his side. And through kindness and creativity, he even finds a way to give David his colour back…
Beautifully illustrated, this story is about being there for someone when they’re at their most vulnerable.
