The Rare, Tiny Flower: (Picture Books About Peace, Kindness Kids Books)

The Rare, Tiny Flower illustrates a deeply touching and thoughtful poem by Kitty O?Meara that, in the form of a parable, celebrates difference, tolerance, and unity. Written by O?Meara in Fall 2020, The Rare, Tiny Flower is in many ways thematically similar to And the People Stayed Home in that it is a commentary on difficult current situations in our world and offers hope for resolution and growth. The poem features a mysterious flower that looks different to each viewer, which leads to strife as everyone insists that their vision is ?right.? Leaders and even a botanist are unable to agree on the nature of the flower?it takes a young girl to point out that the flower is, in fact, quite multidimensional. Remarkably, she has the ability to be heard by the squabbling masses, who then see beyond their fighting and commit to connecting with one another. O?Meara?s thoughtful poem includes people realizing and voicing this important lesson: One day, a very special flower blooms in a forest. A special and unusual flower! No one can agree on what color it is. That?s because it looks different to different people. And that?s when the fighting starts? It takes a young girl to point out the truth. But will the people listen?
