A charming children's tale about finding beauty in friendship and nature, a journey full of adventure while learning to appreciate things just as they are -- lushly illustrated by the New York Times featured artist-author of Rosie Runs.

As two plant-loving friends tend to their sapling, they realize what's tiny can also be mighty!

Willow, Aspen, and Eulalia (their faithful chicken) find a mysterious seedling in a neglected corner of their greenhouse. Unable to identify the sprout from their plant guide, they name it Raisin--after a tiny but clever creature from one of Aspen's poems. Each morning Willow races to the greenhouse with her watering can, yet Raisin remains small as ever. Hoping the salt air will usher new growth, the two friends strap Raisin snugly to their basket and cycle to the bustling seashore. Traversing the world with determination and spirit, Aspen and Willow set out on a quest to help Raisin grow.

A Magician's Flower invites young readers to befriend nature and find joy in the many-colored details around them. Marika Maijala's bold lines illuminate this enchanting tale of friendship, exploration, and courage for readers ages 5-9.
