Makeda, a young Ethiopian girl, longs to pick the maskal flowers that will be blooming in the fields shortly. She becomes ill with a fever and her dreams of gathering flowers will be ruined. Her mother makes a sacrifice of selling her bracelets to get the medicine Makeda needs. How will Makeda repay her mother for her loving sacrifice? Field Of Flowers is the story about a loving Ethiopian family.
"I have worked as a preschool teacher, which is where I fell in love with picture books. My favorite picture book is Tar Beach. I have also won the Writer's Digest Writing Competition three times for my picture book manuscripts. I have won 7 other writing contests. I also write for adults and my poetry has been published in Leaves Magazine and The Journal News. My stories and poems for children have been published in My Light Magazine. I am also the saint editor for My Light Magazine."
I have met several people in my journey as a writer. This author, Patricia Moore, stands out. She is the best!
