This book is about a desert flower that blooms for only one night a year as the sun sets over the Sonoran desert in Arizona and wildlife gather to witness the special annual event. This book also has a lot of really cool illustrations that I think children would enjoy looking at while reading.

I like how this book uses rhyme in its story of the night flower. It also highlights the pronunciation.

This book published in 2018 featuring watercolor and digital coloring. It showcases the native flower that is found in Mexico and the southwestern US. It blooms once a year at night and shows what the flowers beautiful aromas attract.

The night flower, published in 2019 was a very fun read. It went in depth into the desert and and the different flowers, plants and animals during this time of year. Was very informative and fun to read.
