    "The Concrete Flower Series is a fantastic set of books for young children. Each book offers a valuable lesson (saving, making friends, peace, etc.) but is done through unique storytelling. My daughters have found these books not only interesting, but they love the imagery and get to learn some great concepts/values that will support their long-term personal growth. Highly recommend!"

This unique series is a special and valuable journey which parents and teachers can use to walk alongside their children and spark conversation about matters of the heart."

    "The Concrete Flower Series is a thought-provoking way for children to connect to the world they live in. While children will enjoy the colourful illustrations and stories, adults will also appreciate the relevance of the content. These books will engage children and will create a thirst for more learning. Few children's books are as relevant as the Concrete Flower series."

    "Ipsita Banerjee’s plant base story telling informs the reader of the intensity of calling seed impulse carried within the dreams of our Chakra. [...] Ipsita engages crystals with colour coded for each plant base chakra to help them meet during the journey in life to achieve her goal by handiwork of positive self - love by her plant base artwork for all."
    -Dr. Rodrick Lal MA Ph.D, Mental Health Therapist, and Phoebe Morrow, 10-year-old student

     

    "Wonderful encounters of characters in these books, the colors and images are simple yet vibrant. My favourite part is the questions at the end of the book to help the child share what they may have learned and perceived in the story. There are powerful messages of interconnectedness, the unseen world (respect for underworld in book 2), and environmental/ ecological stewardship that are seamlessly woven into the story line."

    "The Concrete Flower Series has helped me start an open dialogue in my home on emotional intelligence and resilience. It has been incredibly powerful to teach my daughter about the complexities of the world through relatable characters and situations. I highly recommend these vibrant and impactful stories for homes and classrooms."
