The rare, tiny flower

The Rare, Tiny Flower (2022), written by Kitty O’Meara and illustrated by Quim Torres, begins with the sudden appearance of a small, unusual flower in the middle of a forest. People from nearby villages come to look at it, and each person sees the flower differently: some see bright colors, others see different shapes. Because everyone insists that their own view is correct, disagreements start to form among the visitors. The debate grows and spreads as more people arrive, unable to agree on what the flower truly looks like. Eventually, a young girl steps forward, prompting others to consider that there might be more than one way to see the flower. The story follows the progression of these events around the flower and the reactions of those who gather to observe it.
