This book is about sixty pages. It is a spinoff from Soul Talk (ISBN 0-7388-5651-7), which was ahead of its time. But the political times are rapidly catching up, demonstrating the need for a backward appreciation of our national development. The book at hand is meant to showcase the work of floral artist Delia Daley in a way that is an enjoyable yet thoughtful exercise for the reader. It is indeed to be spiral-bound so that it lies flat to accommodate the coloring effort. In the succession of State Flowers, all text pages will be on the left and all art pages on the right hand.
