Publisher's Synopsis
The Spell of the Iris is a beautiful picture book telling the simple story of a girl caught in a flower's spell. Through artistic photos of miniature people and their village of flowers, we see the town react, respond, and ultimately free the girl from the iris's hold. The book portrays the power of hope and the strength of the human spirit while presenting a feast of color and nature's beauty for the eyes. The Spell of the Iris is written with short poetic passages with a satisfying conclusion, making it a perfect read-aloud for bedtime. The photos of these tiny people living in a world of flowers stand on their own artistic merit making it a perfect gift and a treasured possession for generations. All photos were taken of flowers as they were found in Queens and Dutchess Counties in New York and Portland, Oregon.
