The Late Bloomer

A shy and lovely princess arrives late to the flower fields.
A precious peony struggles to bloom, afraid to be overlooked again; but her friendship with the sun reveals the strength of believing in oneself.
This modern fairytale reminds us that with patience and courage our inner beauty will burst through, and shine brightly on all around. The magical encounter of the princess and the peony illuminates that we all blossom in our own unique way at our own perfect time. The Late Bloomer is a beautiful story of friendship and the strength of believing in oneself.
