A Bloom a Day
\n<\/big>Billie Lythberg<\/a> (Author), Sian Northfield<\/a> (Author), Ron van Dongen<\/a> (Photographer)<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Review<\/strong>: There are few photo books that truly inspire joy, page after page.\u00a0 And A Bloom a Day<\/em>, is one of them. In Bloom a Day<\/em>, celebrated photographer Ron van Dongen matches each day of the year with its corresponding blossom. Each portrait is then paired with a fortune that uncovers the meaning of that flower and reveals the unique aspects of those born on that day.<\/p>\n

Since we usually see the same kinds of flowers in shops, supermarkets and garden centers, it is easy to forget how flowers are Mother Nature’s most beautiful works of art.<\/p>\n

A Bloom a Day also reminds of the incredible diversity in the flower world.\u00a0 Flowers are unique–not only in how they look but how they make us feel.\u00a0 Historically, we gave a certain type of flower when we wanted to evoke grief, love, passion or joy.\u00a0 I was reminded of this only after reading this book.<\/p>\n

A Bloom a Day<\/em> is also a delightful book of divination. I loved the description of my personality on my birthday–and that makes it a fun gift for Thanksgiving or any other group or family oriented holiday.<\/p>\n
