Synopsis

Flower Children is a charming book to be enjoyed by both children and adults. All children are flowers in the garden of God’s love. A flower is the mystical counterpart of a child. To the under-standing heart a child is a flower and a flower is a child. God made flowers on the day that He made the world beautiful. Then He gave the world children to play amid the flowers. God has implanted in the breasts of children a natural love for flowers—and no one who keeps that love in his heart has entirely forsaken the land of childhood. In preparing this book the author and the artist have at-tempted to show the kinship of children and flowers—and it is their hope that the little ones into whose hands this volume comes will find herein the proof that their knowledge of what flowers really are is true and that their love for the friendly blossoms is returned many-fold. To you, then, little child-flowers, this book is lovingly of-fered as an expression of thankfulness to children for the joy and sweetness with which they have filled my life.

About Elizabeth Gordon

Elizabeth Gordon (August 8, 1906 – September 3, 2000) was editor of House Beautiful magazine from 1941 to 1964. She was remembered as "a missionary of taste to the American homemaker". In her well known 1953 essay, "The Threat to the Next America", she criticized International Style modern architecture and associated it with totalitarianism and communism. For this she earned a personal letter of approval from Frank Lloyd Wright, and the two became friends. In 1960, she introduced the Japanese aesthetic concept of shibui to an American audience. She spent five years researching the subject, including 16 months in Japan. The Shibui special issue (August 1960) "caused a sensation". She edited The House Beautiful/AIA Climate Control Project, and wrote several articles on climate control for the magazine.
