Amazing illustrations! Loved it!

[Melki · Rating 5 out of 5]

From seed to flower to seed again, this story of the life cycle of a poppy is STUNNINGLY illustrated by the author. In her note at the back of the book, Lucht shares her painting techniques, and admits that the book took a year to create. It certainly shows in her careful attention to detail.



I wish I could find more online images to share, but trust me - this book is GORGEOUS!
