Sinopsis

Dougie & Vátells the story of a tree who wants to be a flower.Dougie, a young Douglas Fir, can easily spot the gifts and strengths of others, but has a difficult time seeing anything good in himself. Can you relate?In the first half of the book, Dougie relentlessly compares himself to V, a vibrant violet. V, older and wiser, gently pushes back. She shows Dougie that he too is special. With VâÇÖs help, Dougie comes to understand that though he and V are very different, they are both innately unique, strong and beautiful.Sprinkled with delightful and surprising factoids about biodiversity, this spiritual journey teaches us about friendship, loss, and the cycles of life.áBut above all, this is a book about the importance of self-love.ItâÇÖs a picture book for children ages 4-8, but we believe that it would appeal to older kids and adults, too.áAs for comps,áDougie and Váshares qualities with many iconic titles. At its core, it is a playful and affirming text in the same vein as Marion DeucharsâÇÖ 'Bob the Artist.' But it also includes witty asides that are both educational and fun, something akin to Julia RothmanâÇÖs 'Nature Anatomy.' And finally, our greatest ambition is to edge towards the poignancy found in 'The Giving Tree.'
