KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ Andrews McMeel Publishing (AMP) announces the release of The Sun and Her Flowers by Rupi Kaur on October 3, 2017. The book is the second collection of poetry and illustrations by Kaur, whose first collection, Milk and Honey, was a #1 New York Times and international bestseller and has sold nearly 2 million copies worldwide. It is the #1 top selling adult nonfiction book and the #2 bestselling book overall in the U.S. in 2017.
"I feel beyond excited and blessed to take readers on this new journey with me," said Rupi. "This new book has had so much heart poured into it. I have been working on this vision for three years and now it's come to life."
Divided into five chapters, this highly anticipated collectionguides readers on a journey of wilting, falling, rooting, rising, and blooming in a celebration of love in all its forms. It is a vibrant and transcendent journey about growth and healing, ancestry and honoring one's roots, expatriation and rising up to find a home within yourself. Designed by Rupi in her signature style with a keen eye for elegance and simplicity, The Sun and Her Flowers continues Rupi's exploration of themes of love, loss, trauma, healing, and femininity.
"Rupi connects with her readers in an extraordinarily personal way; her work empowers, inspires and restores hope," said Kirsty Melville, president and publisher of AMP. "She has forged an international community of passionately engaged readers who enthusiastically await her new collection."
