"A Bloom of Friendship: The Story of the Canadian Tulip Festival" by Anne Renaud tells the poignant tale of the historical roots of the Canadian Tulip Festival in Ottawa. The story unfolds through the perspective of a young girl who learns about the friendship between Canada and the Netherlands during World War II. When Princess Juliana of the Netherlands sends thousands of tulips to Canada as a thank-you for the country's support, the girl discovers the significance of this gesture. The vibrant tulips symbolize hope, gratitude, and the bonds of friendship that transcend borders, capturing the spirit of unity and remembrance.
