The Strongest Flower in the Park: Flowers and Lessons

By Bob Dowd

Tiger Lily was a bully. He wanted to make the rules for the park, and because he was the strongest flower there, he felt it was his right to do just that. But what happens when the rest of the flowers disagree with him? Does one flower have the right to make all the rules? Can the smaller flowers stand up to him? In this impactful story, children will learn an important lesson on bullying and why it is wrong!

"The Strongest Flower in the Park" teaches that just because you are bigger and stronger than others, you are not entitled to boss them around and tell them what to do! Actions speak louder than words in this very thoughtful and heartfelt edition of the Flowers and Lessons series where great characters spring to life on the pages and bring home great life lessons.

Filled with easy to read storytelling and plenty of heart, this is a wonderful book for early readers up to 10 years old. Both children and parents will want to read this again and again – as the story reveals that with great power comes great responsibility!
