When Brigg discovers a book in the library labelled "Do Not Read", he cannot resist taking it home. It leads him to an unexpected discovery, which brings brightness and beauty to the inhabitants of a previously dull and dismal world. The illustrations I didn’t connect well and also don’t think children will either. The characters don’t look happy from the beginning. The colors set a mood of sadness and depression. The main character lives alone and his room doesn’t look homey at all. He lives alone and look very young for his age to be living alone. There's also a suggestion of post-apocalyptic themes, with the environment changing so there aren't any plants in the city. It takes something pretty major to kill off all the weeds.

My yard might not look so great this year due to the drought; but, here in my craft room, things are in full bloom! Whether you are an avid reader, a flower fanatic, or both, you are sure to love my pop-up flower book. The art reinforces the story, by showing the city as a dull grey place. Brigg is shown walking the other way to everyone else, or sitting apart from other children, highlighting how out-of-place he feels. His room is very plain, with few personal items. Once the flower appears, it's a point of colour and life in an otherwise dull environment.Her directions are simple but also very clear and informative. The book is huge and well-photographed, so it’s easy to follow. John Light creates a dystopian society through his use of color. The bad parts of the world are done in a solitary and sad gray. The pictures are very depressing, not child friendly in my opinion. To show the good in the society, he added color to people and things. These are very bold indicators of the good and bad. The shadow around the people's eyes show the depressing tone of the story. The illustrations dramatically change as Brigg's flower grew.

Estamos ante un futuro tan desolador que no sorprende el hecho de que Brigg tenga que recorrer la ciudad entera para encontrar suficiente tierra para llenar una taza. Grab the book cover and fold along the score lines. Attach the white, rectangular piece to the front. Next, glue on the four little triangular pieces—slightly off of each corner. Add any other embellishments or decorations you’d like your book to have. It focuses on a personal act of revolution, rather than trying to overthrow the system. Brigg can't change how the city runs, but he can try to grow a flower. The theme of finding a point of happiness when the world seems bleak will resonate with children going through tough times. Attach the pop-up section to the interior of the book. Add your flowers, stems, and branches inside—all around the pop-up section.En este mundo lo más parecido a la felicidad es la librería, único sitio donde hay personas sonriendo. Aquel libro contiene imágenes preciosas de flores, figuras que Brigg jamás había visto y es así como Brigg comienza la búsqueda a lo largo de la ciudad para hallar una flor, hasta que a través de una ventana de una tienda de chatarra ve un paquete con la imagen de una flor, Brigg lo adquiere para encontrar en su interior no la flor, sino semillas; las instrucciones marcan que se deben cubrir con tierra y añadir agua. The book uses colour symbolism in which the city's dark hues could represent a possibly polluted future where people will not be familiar with natural life. The flower portrays a symbol of hope to Brigg who has the motivation to search for something better. The language use is simple but the choices of adjectives used throughout are interesting as have a significant impact on the meaning. Motifs also appear within the pictures and add a further element of interest when looking closer into the images as a collective whole. Attach the smaller pieces to the larger one—where they will go over the top of the triangular sections that don’t have a crease through the middle.
