Meet Bo and Zop, two scouts from the Omega Quadrant, on a mission to monitor Earth. Their job is to find out all about us Earthlings, to see if we are friendly enough for a visit from the aliens of Omegatron. Bo doesn't think so, he doesn't seem to understand us at all! Can Zop show Bo what it means to be an Earthling? Explore PSHE themes in a fun and interesting way with this lively series.

Please note this is an `American spelling' version. The story begins with a seed landing in a pretty garden where it begins to grow and eventually forms a little flower bud. But, the little flower bud becomes frightened of things that she `hears on the wind'; such as the sun that might scorch its petals, the rain that might spoil them, the wind that might blow them away - so the flower doesn't want to bloom. However, all flowers must bloom, and as the little flower bud opens her petals she overcomes her fears one by one. The more we think about our fears, the more they overwhelm us. This book teaches children (of all ages) that fear is just a feeling that holds them back from living their lives to the full. To add to the fun and develop observational skills there's a `Did You See' activity page at the back with objects from the book that children may not have noticed whilst reading it. There are also some simple questions that can be asked of children, encouraging them to think about what they've read. The skill level required is `easy'.
