"I Ate Sunshine for Breakfast" by Michael Holland FLS and Philip Giordano (Flying Eye Books)

Spring is most definitely in the air, and as the fantastic sunshine fills us with hope (and hopefully tops up our much maligned levels of Vitamin D) imagine a world filled with the colourful beauty of flowers and plants.

"I Ate Sunshine for Breakfast" by Michael Holland FLS and Philip Giordano is a glorious and colourful celebration of our amazing and wonderful plant life.

From the tiniest green shoots to the tallest sunflowers, this book is perfect for tinies who are already loving exercising their green fingers and thumbs by growing awesome plants.

Michael and Philip also cover the less well known members of the animal kingdom. Did you know there are plants that eat insects?

Did you also know that there's a fantastic giant nut called the Coco De Mer that looks an awful lot like a gorilla's bum?

In this light hearted exploration of the plant kingdom, we're left daydreaming of a time where we can emerge from our isolation, back out into the beautiful world to soak up the sights and smells waiting for us as the world begins to be filled with blooming gorgeous colour all over again.

Sum this book up in a sentence: An absolutely beautiful book filled with plant life from across the world, just the ticket and a very much needed book-shaped tonic at the moment.

"I Ate Sunshine for Breakfast" by Michael Holland and Philip Giordano is out now, published by Flying Eye Books (kindly supplied for review).
