The Fanciest Flower

The Fanciest Flower is an eye-popping, fluorescently vivid, and hilariously written book about staying true to your roots—literally!—from debut author/illustrator Summer Benton.

Ferny O’Violet always knows the perfect flower to brighten someone’s day. But when a customer comes into her shop who wants something no one’s ever seen before, Ferny gives her a flower that actually isn’t a flower at all! And even worse, now everyone wants one for themselves. What’s a florist to do when she’s selling a lie? Will she dare to return to her roots even if it means disappointing the people who love her?

Filled with whimsical illustrations and gorgeously detailed scenes, it’s a heartwarming story about staying true to what you love and who you are, from debut artist and author Summer Benton
