Mom's Review
The Language of Flowers tells the story of a little girl who honors the life of a family friend through blooms representing his most cherished experiences. Juhi, the girl, has learned how flowers represent different occasions and emotions, so when her family friend passes away, she processes her grief by choosing each bloom to recall special stories and events. She gives the bouquet to the widow. The Language of Flowers models how one child processes the loss of someone she cares about and shows the value of a sincere, heartfelt action.
