‘Once there was a loving mom rosebush and her baby rosebud.’

Such is the beginning of this heartfelt, emotional story about family and love, beautifully written by the charismatic Nektaria Valla and brought to life by the unique illustrations of Angie Anagnostou.

Little Peter loves to play in the garden and often runs and prances and dances around the colorful flowers and the majestic red rosebush.
One day, as his dad is returning from a trip, little Peter decides to gift him the adorable and bright red rosebud, not knowing this would turn the baby rosebud’s life upside down. But as he reaches to fill a small vase with some water for our friend, his mom calls him to help set the table.

What will happen to the baby rosebud under the hot summer sun?
What were the last words the little rosebud heard from its mom before being taken away? Will someone help it survive?

A tender and sincere story, Nektaria Valla’s The Little Rosebud is a moving tale for readers of all ages, that touches on the fear of separation and the importance of love in our ability to grow and be truly happy.
