The Little Flower King
The little flower king wants nothing in the world so much as to fill his kingdom with beautiful flowers. But when every acre has been covered with tulips, he realizes he still isn’t happy—he wants a princess. So he travels the world in search of her, only to return home sad and alone. It isn’t until he visits his garden again that he finds his princess, calling out to him from one of the newly blooming tulips. Brimming with bright colors and innovative die-cuts, this elegantly designed book is light-hearted, whimsical, and full of childlike splendor.

The text in this book is a thinly disguised excuse for the artwork to be published. Collage, mixed media, pencil, crayons in very pure bright colours, combined with black, white and parchment backgrounds.
So who's complaining :-)

The text of this title take a back seat to the hand-sized shape, window cut pages and brilliant illustrations. This book is sure to keep little hands and minds fascinated.
