ABOUT THE BOOK

A democracy is like a flower. To survive, it needs strong roots and consistent care. Each generation of Americans has a responsibility to become gardeners and continue the care of their democracy.

Celebrate democracy and the liberty and justice promised for all in the US Constitution through flower poetry, comparing aspects of our life of freedom, dignity, community, and respect for the law to flowers using a series of lune poems, the American haiku. Lush images of gardens and flowers, and a playful story of a mischievous dog, make this a book for generations to treasure.
