_If your birthday is in APRIL. . .

Your birthstone is
DIAMOND

All over the world and through time, diamonds have been treasured, both for their extreme strength and their ability to reflect light in brilliant sparkles.  No other substance on earth is thought to be as hard and enduring as a diamond.  Long years ago, people thought a diamond could heal them if they were sick, but they had to sleep with it to keep it warm and energized.  Diamonds stand for love that lasts forever--and maybe also for the hard work it takes to create a strong, loving relationship.

In April, in the book An Earth Child's Book of the Year, can you find a diamond hidden in the picture and the word "diamond" in the text?

Your birth flowers are
DAISY and SWEET PEA

Daises and sweet peas both stand for innocence, love, loyalty to those you care about, and to simplicity in your heart and in your life.

In the book An Earth Child's Book of the Year, daisies and sweet peas are in bloom on the April pages!  What are the Earth Children doing with these flowers in the story in April?
