Boston You're My Home - New Children's Book Benefits The One Fund

Posted by Rick Canale on Mon, Mar 10, 2014

Boston You're My Home

At Exotic Flowers in Boston, we believe in the importance of reading to children and reading with children. Heck we believe that reading is one of the pillars of civilization. At Exotic Flowers, we share books, poetry and even have a favorite author. Yes, Suzie Canale is my amazing wife. She also writes amazing stories.

Her newest children's book, Boston, You're My Home is the story of a young girl named Sweet Caroline who is nervous about her family moving to the city. Worried about the unknown, her mother and father attempt to soothe her fears by telling her a bedtime tale inspired by Boston's strengths. Including everything from scholarly education to delectable seafood, Caroline slowly begins to learn about the wonderful benefits of calling Boston her new home. Suzie will be donating 100% percent of her royalties for this book to benefit The One Fund.

Happy Thanksgiving from Exotic Flowers in Boston

Impress Beyond Words

Happy Thanksgiving from
Exotic Flowers
 

November, 2010

Dear friends,

My first job was cleaning geraniums at six years old. Growing up in a family business, you learn the value of a dollar and the importance of hard work. My father always told me, 'never hire anyone who cannot sweep the floor,'. This statement pretty much is the backbone of what Exotic Flowers & Lombardi Florist are built upon. We work hard, we start early and stay late.

Some say we're crazy, but we are in a family business. Family businesses last for a reason; because we care. We care about the product; we care about our co- workers; we care about our community and we care about our customers.

Thanksgiving is about spending time with family and friends. If you cannot be there, please call or even better send flowers.

 Thank you for loyalty. Thank you for your referrals. Thank you for spending your hard earned money at Exotic Flowers, www.exoticflowers.com & Lombardi Florist.

This year my wife Suzie wrote a children's book, "The Land of Chocolate Cosmos,".  It will be available at all Exotic Flowers stores and for delivery. I'd appreciate any ideas to help us gain exposure. It is a great story.

Sincerely,
