Poppy and the Blooms     

Poppy, Dandy, Bluebell and Buttercup are on a mission to save the city park. Journeying on their tiny scooters and skateboards through the dangerous, smelly city, they’ve got to get up high to find where the park in peril might be. When they find it they use their floral magic to transform the park in a beautiful sea of colourful flowers, which eventually spreads even beyond the park gates.

Fiona Woodcock’s beautiful illustrations perfectly capture the contrast between a grey cityscape and the joyful kaleidoscope that fresh flowers can add. The little characters are very endearing in their petal headdresses with their skateboards a gorgeous unexpected twist. This gentle little story is a delight from start to finish, and Fiona Woodcock follows up her lovely debut, Hiding Heidi, in true style.
