Ghost Orchid

Fiona Lumbers

Travel the world with Ava and her botanist parents, and learn to live in the moment in this stunning picture book from highly acclaimed illustrator and artist Fiona Lumbers.
Ava’s parents are explorers, and the family is travelling around the world to find the rare ghost orchid. On their way, Ava marvels at the wonders around her: a moose in the woods, the starry desert sky, a blue whale swimming under their boat. But her parents’ focus is on getting to the ghost orchid before its short-lived bloom fades, so only Ava notices the wonders of the journey...

Reviews

"There’s a touch of the Not Now Bernard mentality in the tunnel vision approach of Ava’s parents, though happily they make a decision about slowing down, enjoying the moment and looking through wider lenses on future expeditions"
