Hedgehog Flower/刺猬花

This book tells the story of a hedgehog mother who loved flowers so much. She thought every flower was so beautiful, soft, and fragrant—the most wonderful things in the world. The hedgehog mother made herself a flower hat, a flower shawl, and a flower dress, and made a flower hat and a flower vest for her little hedgehog. They were the happiest hedgehog mother and little hedgehog ever. One morning, the little hedgehog was amazed to find a flower growing on his mother's head! He touched it, and the flower didn't fall off—it was truly magical! How much the hedgehog mother loved this flower on her body! Day after day, more and more flowers grew on the hedgehog mother's head, and gradually, she felt her body getting heavier and heavier… One day, the hedgehog mother could no longer walk; most of her body had turned into flowers, tightly embracing the soil. The author uses the mother's beloved flower as a thread to connect the story, creating a vibrant sea of flowers against a backdrop of gentle sadness.
