The Remarkable Story of the Very First Flower

About the Book

About one hundred million years ago when the dinosaurs were disappearing from the earth, flowering plants appeared. These two things are related: flowering plants created more food for the emerging, warm-blooded mammals. This book envisions the existence of the very first flower on earth for children; it tells of her hardships: of being tiny and seemingly insignificant, different from the giant plants, of her friendship with a dinosaur and a mouse, the loss of her flower and the emergence of a berry which contains the seeds for more flowers.
