"A chick lies in the tall grass, but is attracted by the stars in the night sky. Following them, she becomes lost and when the sun comes out, finds herself in a field of giant roses. When night falls again she makes her bed in a flower. Morning brings fright, but once the chick decides to relax and simply admire everything around her, an idea forms. Using a rose petal as a boat, she floats her way home….Valentina’s artwork, as inventive as it is lovely, gives children, just like the chick in the rose, a safe place to land. Playing with shapes, colors, and patterns, she shows her chick from many perspectives; the most dazzling spread, however, is the brilliant field of roses in all their glory...." -Booklist, September 1, 2007
