This book awakens children\u2019s love of nature through friendship with a very special tulip. Akin to Akiko Miyakoshi\u2019s award-winning books, it\u2019s the perfect bedtime story.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lila\u2019s fifth book has arrived \u2013 not about flower essences per se, but about nature\u2019s majesty and how it reaches out to children\u2019s fanciful imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This fanciful tale is engagingly narrated by a wise old woman who remembers being a tulip. Lila drew the inspiration to write this book from a seasonal Northern California garden. There, she volunteers at the handicapped parking lot, helping visitors to manage their walkers, wheelchairs, and canes. They arrive to enjoy the glorious and colorful tulips. The flowers, in turn, give them energy and renew their spirits, thus making them whole again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I Remember Being a Tulip<\/em> answers the simple question in lyrical prose: How can we expand our hearts? By caring for others and sometimes by making them laugh. Living in harmony with nature helps\u2014especially if your best friends are caterpillars who, in a downpour, are wise enough to use their umbrellas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please enjoy this thrilling book. Perhaps you, too, will remember being a tulip!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
