Have You Ever Seen a Flower?

Have You Ever Seen a Flower? (2021), written and illustrated by Shawn Harris, follows a child who leaves the gray city and travels into the countryside, where a vast meadow of colourful flowers awaits. Accompanied by a dog, the child explores the field, discovering a single flower up close. As they observe it, they begin to notice its colors, shapes, and textures, and experience it through all their senses - seeing, touching, smelling, and listening to the world around it. The story moves through the child’s gradual exploration of the meadow, showing the small details of plants, insects, and sunlight. Each page focuses on the sensory experience of being surrounded by flowers, following the child’s journey as they take in the richness and life of the natural landscape.
