The Reason for a Flower (World of Nature)

“[An] extravagantly beautiful creation. It is unusual in its ingenious way of teaching botany and interesting words to the littlest of readers.” —Publishers Weekly “Ms. Heller’s colors and drawings are as electrifying as ever.” —Los Angeles Times The reason for a flower is to manufacture seeds, but Ruth Heller shares a lot more about parts of plants and their functions in her trademark rhythmic style.

Writer and illustrator of children's books.

“All my books are nonfiction picture books in rhyme. […] Children are not intimidated by big words. I try to make my writing succinct and allow the illustrations to convey as much information as possible.”
[Ruth Heller][1]
