Are flowers your friends ?
This story can tell children about the wonders of plants through the friendship between Haru and Viola.
I want this book to be an opportunity for kids to see flowers as friends. Because we are same creatures on this planet, and it is more fun to see flowers as your friends!

Thank you for your reading!
Although Bologna Children's Book Fair 2021 going online,
I was able to focus on developing my this project since 2019.
Learning the creation of children's books ONLINE in japan gave
me a lot of things to update this project better and richer.
And being one of the FINALIST of BCBF2021 cheered me up!
I would like to send this story to a lot of children and their mothers all over the world!
Because, Haru and Violet bring them a fresh point of view for your world...
And the fact that we are living on this green planet reassures our children.
I need your support to make this project be publised in real!
If you are interested in my project, please contact me!
