About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is a creative powerhouse who struggles with perfectionism or feels like their unique ideas do not fit the 'standard' way of doing things. Finley Flowers is a wonderfully relatable protagonist who sees potential in everyday objects, but she has to learn how to navigate rules and external expectations without losing her spark. Through Finley's journey into the world of fashion design, children learn that being 'different' is often their greatest creative asset. The story beautifully balances the excitement of a competition with the internal emotional work of managing disappointment and building self-confidence. It is an ideal choice for the 6 to 9 age range, offering a gentle introduction to the idea that creativity is a process of trial and error. Parents will appreciate how it models healthy friendship dynamics and the importance of staying true to one's vision even when under pressure.
