You Are Not a Tulip in a Pot is a lyrical picture book for families learning to embrace their children's individuality. Written by singer-songwriter and author Nancy Manet, this story gently challenges the belief that children must be tidy, quiet, or "just like everyone else" to be loved or accepted. Told from an adult's (parent's) point of view, each spread contrasts a societal expectation with a joyful reality, inviting caregivers to celebrate their children's free-spirited nature. Readers progress from simple metaphors, such as "a box of crayons," to "bold finger paints," culminating in the empowering truth: "You, my child, are a field of wildflowers." Michelle Buvala's vivid illustrations, which combine watercolor and cut-paper collage, create movement and emotion that echo the book's message of beauty in freedom and diversity. This is a perfect read-aloud for parents, counselors, educators, and advocates for inclusive parenting. Companion title: My Expansion by Nancy Manet. Ideal for children aged 4-10 and their caregivers of all kinds.
