Everything is so lovely—the flowers, the words, the pictures! The nineteen poems about wildflowers inspire complete recognition, and the dreamlike, dazzling flower paintings are utterly captivating.

How did the writing and illustrations both turn out so beautifully? “Blue Spiderwort”—the image of blue spiderwort flowers coming down to rest in summer and stretching out is so tender it melts my heart. I highly recommend buying and reading this if you love poetry.
The cover has changed from camellias to lily of the valley, like a fresh new outfit. The bright red has become a soft blue. It features many flowers we know and often see: forsythia, camellias, violets, pear blossoms, bleeding hearts, evening primrose, wild strawberries, black locust, fleabane, lily of the valley, Asian celandine, moss rose, cosmos, and more.

On my way home, a blue spiderwort greeted me with “Hello.” The poet says she didn't pay attention to it back then because it was so common, but I guess I must have loved it
Kim Mi-hye: Flower welcoming
A children's picture book of poems that looks at Korean flowers through a child's eyes. In the poet's gaze, flowers blooming in the mountains and fields become friends who are exciting, a little nerve-racking, and warm. Meet the many flowers that fill our land anew: fleabane with its yolk-like center, spiderwort with perked-up ears, moss rose on tiptoe, and black locust blossoms dusted with snow. On every page, flowers painted in East Asian ink-painting techniques flutter open beautifully. Each flower in full bloom soon becomes part of a colorful world of flowers. Let's welcome the flowers together in this clear, gentle world with Flower Welcome. Come greet the flowers with me.
