A Daisy Is a Daisy Is a Daisy

Many girls are named after flowers (or even forms of the word flower, such as Flora), which inspired Linda Wolfsgruber to create this utterly charming book. Girls names in different languages accompany her imaginative illustrations, so that the reader discovers, for example, that Gul means rose in Turkish, but that it is Rosa in Spanish and Raisa in Hebrew. Other names in the book include those for buttercup, sunflower, lily of the valley, daisy, bluebell, snowdrop, hyacinth, camomile, violet, tulip, poppy and lily. This is a beautiful and intriguing gift book for anyone interested in girls names, flowers and the fine art of book illustration. It can also be used in the classroom to talk about multiculturalism and botany.
