Welcome to Flower Power Book

Flower Power Book is for children everywhere – the child of today, the child within us and for anyone who has responsibility for the care and nurture of children.

We are a charity which provides educational resources to improve children’s emotional health and wellbeing.

This project is centred around the picture storybook, Flower Power! and its accompanying set of 8 original songs and 3 pieces of instrumental music:

With hand-drawn illustrations Flower Power! is a picture storybook with a strong message, and a very happy ending!

‘The little flower lives in the corner of the garden. Can she survive the dangers that she meets there?’

It is about love and encouragement, resilience and perseverance; it questions how we care for the world, how we care for each other – how we live our lives – in a way that is easily understood by young children and adults alike. 

For Primary Schools and Home Education we provide:

  • PSHE, curriculum enrichment, mental health and wellbeing resources for children aged 4 to 11 years.
  • Time saving materials for teachers, suggestions for activities and worksheets for EYFS, KS1 and KS2.
  • PSHE programme suitable for a whole term’s classwork, to dip into as required, nurture group activities or one-to-one emotional support.
  • Flower Power! can also be performed as a KS1 Musical.
  • Flower Power! makes an ideal whole school Community Project.
  • Flower Power! enhances Forest Schools activities.
  • Resources Hub: If you are a parent, grandparent, carer or friend, sign in to explore our free resources to help enrich your ‘parent and child’ reading time, talk about emotional health, inspire you to enjoy ‘the great outdoors’ together or give you ideas for some art and craft fun!
  • Professionals Page: A referral service providing books and resources for Family Support Services and Social Workers in the UK to pass on to children and families whom they believe would benefit.

We hope that you enjoy your visit to the Flower Power Book website; we hope that the book, songs and music will speak for themselves and that you find our resources to be helpful.

Thank you very much; we look forward to hearing from you!

All good wishes,

Flower Power Book

Wendy Leiter, Vince Wilson and New York City Marathon 2023

Congratulations and sincere thanks to our Trustee Wendy Leiter and her partner, Vince Wilson, who gave their all, successfully completing the New York City Marathon on 5th November, 2023, raising donations so that Cared for Children aged 2 to 7 could get their own copy of the Flower Power! book, helping them to believe in themselves and be encouraged that whatever setbacks may come along in life they can be overcome.

So far, 575 children will be receiving a book this Christmas time; we expect that we will be able to do more as donations are still arriving; thank you very much indeed to everyone who supported.

“It fits in with so many of our topics – it’s nice how it’s all there – it’s different from anything else that you can buy off the shelf.”
