Step into a garden of delight and go with Phlox on an amaZING JOURNEY.
The garden comes alive on a magical spring morning as flowers sound a chorus accompanied by the rhythm of buzzzzzing bees. Feel as free as a bird flying over treetops, visiting with wildflowers and musical trees. As the shadows deepen, return home to the peaceful sounds of a closing day that lull you to sleep.
Every page is a visual delight with each illustration cleverly taken from a single painting. The beautiful illustrations, animated text and enchanting story will engage readers young and old. "The Flying Phlox" expands your imagination to see beyond the ordinary world and inspires you to continue the journey beyond the pages.

"The Very Lonely Garden", profound in its simplicity, is a delightful and heart warming story about two gardens. One is filled with lovely flowers, singing children and many kinds of flying and fluttering creatures. It even has a pet dragon! Next door is a very sad and lonely garden. The children have all moved away and there aren't any butterflies, birds or bees. The story teaches us about compassion, caring and taking action. it illuminates how sharing joy and friendship makes an impact that is felt around the world.
Just as in "The Flying Phlox" book, all of the illustrations are taken from a single painting and add to the charm of this lovely story. The nature and character building themes are universal and perfect for teachers, parents and caregivers.
