Description

His name is David. Hes the boy with flowers in his hair and hes my best friend...
David is the boy with flowers in his hair. Hes sweet and gentle, just like his petals. But when Davids 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 and sensitively told, this story is about being there for someone when they are at their most vulnerable, and brings to life a pure and poignant friendship that children will never forget.

Reviews
