A Girl Who Was Nearly a Flower

An Illustrated Storybook for All Ages

A Girl Who Was Nearly a Flower - Book Cover - Patrick Gilmour

“There was a girl who was nearly a flower. It is a strange thing, but one that children understand. In the morning she was closer to being a flower than at night, and you mustn’t forget to water her or she’d wither away.

Marguerite is nearly a flower, but how can that be? Certainly, her lovely name means daisy, and she blossoms when you speak to her heart. But what will happen when a schoolteacher’s rigid expectations cast a shadow on her?

A tender tale of childhood, nature, and the delicate balance between learning and growing..
