Tiré du site Internet de Corraini: ""It's mother's day, it's father's day, today is spring, it's little brother's first birthday, the next-door neighbour gets married ! Every occasion is good to offer a flower. [...] But what really matters is the love with which a little daisy, a lavender sprig or some moss are chosen, that one there in particular and not that other one." (From the text) The creation of floral arrangements aims to transmit a message through a life (the plant) which is expression of silence. The one who gives and receives a flower should be able to compose and interpret this living silence, that tries to express life through another type of life. It's not meant to be a difficult or intricate purpose, but on the contrary a natural gesture which doesn't need money but love and inventiveness. Munari shows here many examples of such an inventiveness, not to be merely copied but as a suggestion to freely invent many other ones. The series "workshop", which is focused on the imagination and the active involvement of children and adults, includes now a new book."

In Dare to Bloom, Zim offers practical and hard-won truths about: How to reclaim your true identity How to surrender your desired outcomes to God How to move forward after broken friendships How to find comfort during your darkest hours How to navigate new beginnings with hope for whatever is next How to joyfully participate in your own story--even when you don't know what the future holds Dare to Bloom is a powerful gift for readers in times of transition or struggle who need a reminder that their true identity never changes. It empowers those who feel stuck in their current circumstances to follow God obediently into the unknown, finding joy in each new beginning.

A relationship with a mysterious pop star turns a girl’s life upside down in “a great novel about first love . . . a very touching book” (Fresh Fiction). These are the things that I’ve always wanted: To get the top grades in my class. To make my grandmother proud. And most of all, proof that I could succeed where the rest of my family had not: a Stanford acceptance letter, early admission. My mother and my sister were obsessed with boys and love and sex. So obsessed that they lost sight of their futures, of what they wanted. And in the end, they lost everything. I’ll never let a boy distract me. I promised myself that. But that was before Tate. Before the biggest pop star on the planet took an interest in me. Before private planes and secret dates and lyrics meant for me alone. There’s so much I don’t know. Like why he left music. Where he goes when we’re not together. What dark past he’s hiding. But when we kiss, the future feels far away. And now . . . I’m not sure what I want. “Fun and enjoyable to read . . . Fans of musicians and YA contemporary romance will devour it like I did.” —Buried in a Bookshelf

With lavish illustrations, a dual dictionary of flora and meanings, and suggestions for creating expressive arrangements, this keepsake is the perfect compendium for everyone who has ever given or received a bouquet.
