This fun book tells about a young boy who grows beautiful sunflowers in his backyard ( )

Sunflower House is a heartwarming story about a boy who grows a circle of sunflowers and shares the joy of it with his friends. The story’s message is that even when things come to pass, a part of it still lives on. Sunflower House uses rhyming couplets in order to tell the story and at major points will shout a single word before the page turn. For example, “My friend Bernice says, ‘There’s no way.’ ‘You don’t know everything,’ I say. ‘WAIT!’” The children within the book are realistic and do things that children would do such as trying to tie dead stalks up or glue them in place.
