September Roses

Two sisters who live in South Africa happily spend their days growing and arranging roses. Excited about taking part in a flower show in New York City, the sisters pack 2, 400 roses and board a plane bound for the United States. The date of that flight is September 11, 2001, and as the sisters travel, terrorists attack the United States--a fact that the sisters don't learn about until they land in New York's LaGuardia Airport. Confused, saddened, and stranded, the sisters decide to use their beautiful flowers to pay tribute to those who died in the World Trade Center. Inspired by actual events, this picture book is illustrated with color drawings. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
