A Parrot Tail Lily
Author
Tuula Pere
Illustrator
Catty Flores
Themes
The story’s resolution, when Cosmo’s niece Nelly arrives, is touching and effective. Nelly’s presence brings a breath of fresh air to both Cosmo and the garden. Her simple, heartfelt advice carries a wisdom that’s easy for readers of all ages to understand.
The vivid descriptions of Cosmo’s garden are delightful, painting a lush, colorful world that feels almost magical. I was drawn in by lines like, “Cosmo proudly presented his flowerbeds and greenhouses… I know every flower by name!”
A Parrot Tail Lily is a charming story that skillfully weaves lessons about patience, balance, and the beauty of natural interdependence into its narrative. Tuula Pere’s tale would be especially good for young readers or anyone who loves nature and thoughtful, heartwarming stories.

This book says so much more than just talking about taking proper care of your garden and garden plants. It also says a lot more than just promoting the idea that human beings are social beings who require social contact and connections.
Now, like a lot of Pere's extraordinary books, there's a basic/surface-level reading of it, then there's a deeper reading.
A Parrot Tail Lily is yet another unique and special children's book by Tuula Pere!
— Outstanding Creator
In her story, Tuula Pere captures depression and obsession and turns them into hope and happiness. Children and adults can learn valuable lessons from this story.
First, the storyline introduces hard-working and proud gardener, Cosmo, a character one can root for.
The illustrations by Catty Flores help tell the story so children see the consequences of neglecting everything for the sake of one thing.
