    Flowers are calling to all the animals of the forest, "Drink me!"—but it’s the pollinators who feast on their nectar. In rhyming poetic form and with luminous artwork, this book shows us the marvel of natural cooperation between plants, animals, and insects as they each play their part in the forest's cycle of life.

    "Pak's pretty, digitally worked watercolors achieve equilibrium between stylized reduction and naturalistic verisimilitude." 

    —Kirkus 

     

    "A sophisticated blend of scientific information and artistry." 

    —Publishers Weekly 

     

    "Beautifully subdued watercolor and digital media illustrations, at times reminiscnet of Jon Klassen's work, will draw readers into the text about symbiotic relationship between flowers and their pollinators."
