The Valley of Velvet Petals

by Aiyana Hackbusch

A soft pink petal has caught Ada’s eye, and she wants to find the flower it belongs to. With her best friend, Ivo, by her side, she follows a garden path through a little gate and into a valley where flowers tower overhead. Leaves bend beneath their shoes, petals sway in the breeze, and a flower cups the path with a tiny pink surprise inside. But the breeze has a playful idea of its own: one drifting petal lands right on Ivo. What will Ada and Ivo discover as they explore—and will they find their way back when their steps begin to slow?

The Valley of Velvet Petals invites babies and toddlers to share Ada and Ivo’s gentle outing through a world of oversized flowers and soft, sensory details. Simple repeating words, quiet sounds, and warm illustrations make this tender friendship adventure a cozy read-aloud for little listeners and the grown-ups who read with them.
