I remember this book from when I was a kid (I’m 29, but have no idea how old it was). I’m not sure that it’s a book for children, but I do remember that it was illustrated with these beautiful pictures. The characters are flowers (with faces?) and I believe the main character, which may be a dandelion or daisy dies. I remember it as being very dark and sad, and it really stuck with me, but my parents have no memory of it. I’ve been trying to figure out what it was for years. I hope someone can help!

I’m looking for a picture book where a boy’s sister/friend is missing. It’s been winter for a long time and spring isn’t coming. He goes on a quest to find her. When he does, she’s asleep. When she wakes up, springtime comes back.

Thanks!

The book I’m looking for is a beautifully illustrated oversized (aprox. 11 X 14) softcover picture book about a boy who wanders alone through what I think is his eccentric aunt’s house. Starting at the front gate he finds a note with a poem on it which leads him to the next place. This is repeated through the garden and by the pool and then into the house until he ends up in the kitchen where everyone jumps out and there is a big banner that says “Surprise!”

I hope someone knows the book I am asking about. I read the book to my daughter when she was young and she is now 15 years old. She is learning to read to children herself now and very much wants to find that book again which we lost in a move several years ago.

I am looking for the title of a children’s book I read a few years ago. It was, as far as my memory supports about a little boy who travels from place to place (all local, on foot) and after a few verbal exchanges he repeats a line similar to, “I gottagetouta here.”

I lived in MA at the time and wonder if it was local to New England.
