From celebrated and best-selling author Amy Bloom comes a jubilant story of self-love, individuality, and gender expression. Nicki’s favorite aunt is getting married, and Nicki is excited to be the Flower she is all in for love and pretty petals. But when the family goes shopping to find outfits for the wedding, Nicki doesn’t feel like herself in any of the dresses her mom and aunt pick out for her, and all her happiness and excitement for the wedding evaporates. Nicki must find her voice―and her own style of expression to match it―to make Aunt Carmela’s big day absolutely perfect. Infused with intelligence and charm and complemented by art by Jameela Wahlgren that’s as warm and tender as a hug, Flower Girl celebrates the magic of finding the clothes that help us shine.
