Themes and ideas which stood out in the picture story book Paper-Flower Girl involve those of the responsibility and implications of power and control. It also raises thoughts of privilege, freedom, opportunity and rights.
”Down there
the Plain of Small Surprises.
Slow and splendid
Folded and unfurled.” (On last page)
This quote makes you stop and think of all of the little things in life and has a moral of how sometimes the smallest achievements are the most important. The Plain of Small Surprises at first seems very plain and simple but in the story, it is a beacon of hope and joy. (Lara)
