About this ebook

Divided into five chapters and illustrated by kaur, the sun and her flowers is a journey of wilting, falling, rooting, rising, and blooming. A celebration of love in all its forms.

this is the recipe of life
said my mother
as she held me in her arms as i wept
think of those flowers you plant
in the garden each year
they will teach you
that people too
must wilt
fall
root
rise
in order to bloom

Ratings and reviews

This book is fantastic, and was my introduction into this author. I've Milk and Honey, and Home Body after discovering this one. I hadn't been much into reading books as much as when I was younger, but thanks to a few poetry books I bought on a whim a few years ago (including this one) I now read a few poetry books a month. Highly recommend.

I have grown so much from "Milk and Honey" and also "The sun and her flowers" I am truly grateful for Rupi Kaur and her wisdom, rebellion, sass and awareness. Much love ♥️ Happy healing all.

This book is amazing. It does a great job expressing the feelings of heartbreak, self-love, self-hate, immigration, opression, sexism and minority problems. It has very deep and complex poems and quotes. A great book for anyone who has an open mind.
