The Boy with Flowers in His Hair by Jarvis
WINNER OF THE OSCAR'S BOOK PRIZE 2023 WINNER OF THE INDIE BOOK AWARDS 2023 WINNER OF AN ACADEMY OF BRITISH COVER DESIGN AWARD 2023 NOMINATED FOR THE CARNEGIE MEDAL SHORLISTED FOR THE BISHOP'S STORTFORD COLLEGE PICTURE BOOK AWARD "A sweet and inclusive tale of kindness and creativity" The Sunday Times His name is David. He’s the boy with flowers in his hair and he’s my best friend... David is the boy with flowers in his hair. He’s sweet and gentle, just like his petals. But when David’s flowers begin to fall – a single petal at first, then every last blossom – his best friend never leaves his side. And through kindness and creativity, he even finds a way to give David his colour back… Beautifully illustrated and sensitively told, this story is about being there for someone when they are at their most vulnerable, and brings to life a pure and poignant friendship that children will never forget. "This is a deceptively simple story that will pull at your heartstrings and fill you with warmth all at the same time." The Scotsman
