Description

When a purple-petalled flower sprouts in a land dominated by Blues, there’s no welcome reception… just prejudice, mistrust and a chorus of “Ewww!” Little Blue doesn’t like the strange-looking flower growing so near, so he tells Mom that Purples just don’t belong around here. Fearing her little one is growing in the wrong direction, Momma Blue offers a lesson on the beauty of diversity by explaining how the wind, rain, sun and bees treat all flowers the same, regardless of the color of their petals or the size of their stems. The Judgmental Flower is the eighth title in the Building Relationships series by Julia Cook. The story includes tips for parents and educators on how to help children appreciate differences and embrace diversity in life and in friendships.

Review
“The Judgmental Flower, is an aspirational and inspirational reminder of the importance of multicultural education. All school leaders, especially professional school counselors, must be able to address the needs and concerns of their students and families. This book serves as a brilliant vehicle to broach and embrace the topic of diversity at all levels of instruction.” – Robert B. Jamison, Ed.S., Office of Student Support Services, Virginia Beach (VA) City Public Schools “Amazing! Julia Cook explains several difficult topics, such as communication, trust and celebrating differences, by using beautiful and colorful flowers. Counselors, educators and parents can use this book as a launching pad to discuss many of today’s issues. It’s a must read for all!” – Dr. Sylvia A. Lopez, Director of Counseling Services, Dallas, TX
