Books with title Bloom

Two hundred and thirty miles above the Earth, three astronauts float in zero gravity, dead. Murdered. Lockney Thrall's father -- the first Mexican-American mission commander of the International Space Station -- is one of them, killed in the struggle, and NASA and the rest of the world believes that he's responsible, snapping and killing his crewmates. But the facts aren't adding up for Lockney and she sets out to prove that her father isn't the murderer everyone thinks. Using science and her new friendship with the daughter of a wealthy tech magnate, Lockney finds herself in a world of anarchists hacking into government servers and federal agents who can make evidence -- and her mother -- disappear. Following her gut instincts and intent on clearing her father’s name, Lockney uncovers a conspiracy that many had hoped would stay quiet.

Discover the magic—and the science—behind spring flower blooms with this companion to the celebrated Raindrops Roll, Best in Snow, and Full of Fall.When spring arrives, flowers of all kinds sprout and grow buds and bloom. Sometimes, they bloom a few at a time. But other times, many will bloom at once in a colorful flower boom! This photographic exploration of flowers goes from the desert to the woodlands and beyond, celebrating their beautiful variety and the science behind these colorful displays.

A sing, song look at the seasons through flower photographs, created by artist Hazel Berger. This delightful children's book is sure to entertain with bright colors and big flowers. The artist has written a catchy poem to highlight a journey through the seasons starting with a Red Bud tree and ending with a Camellia bush. The flowers are named in the back of the book. Next to a smaller photograph, there is further information about each flower. The book teaches that sunflower seeds need to be planted each year and magnolia trees only bloom 3-5 days for example. The youngest child will enjoy the rhythm of the book. The rich photographs provide the perfect platform for naming colors. Older children (and parents) will enjoy the details discussed in the identification section. Mrs. Berger also asks thoughtful questions of the young explorer. The artist was careful to utilize specific plant words, like stem, bud, and petal. Each are included in the poem. These 26 pages are purposeful and educational for the youngest child and perhaps the oldest adult.
