Growing can be hard, especially when everyone around you seems to be growing at a faster rate. The Late Bloomer teaches children (and adults!) that it's okay to grow slow.
Spring is here and all is in bloom, except a young walnut tree, who is filled with gloom. Walnut wants to grow leaves like all of its friends, but it is still bare as spring comes to an end. With patience and time, Walnut comes to know: there's nothing wrong with growing slow.
This inspirational story will resonate deeply with the many children who feel left behind as they watch their peers grow. With gentle rhymes that introduce children to the power of poetry, The Late Bloomer is sure to touch the hearts of children and adults alike.
