Description

Pansy Boy is a stunningly beautiful picture book about a child's journey to overcome bullying and be proud of who he is. Told as rhyming poem, the story comes to life with vivid graphic art. Out in the natural world, a boy is in love with its beauty.

Flowers and birds in flight amaze him. But school beckons, and with it bullying from other children.

The book comes complete with a field guide to the flowers and birds contained in its pages. "In the garden of Kew he read for hours, and learned the language of the flowers..."
