In “The Sun and Her Flowers”, Kaur writes five chapters which each represent the five stages of the life of a flower: “Wilting,” “Falling,” “Rooting,” “Rising,” and “Blooming.”

The compilation of poetry weaves in the idea of growth, where the end goal is to bloom.

Each chapter touches on the different stories that have challenged Kaur. She explains through her work that it is human nature to encounter barriers as we attempt to reach this final stage of life.

In the chapter “Falling” Kaur includes a simple one-liner poem “you do not just wake up and become a butterfly,” in connection to nature and flowers.

The poem ends with a reminder, and the title of the poem “-growth is a process” on page 87. At the bottom of the page, lies a graphic of a caterpillar, a cocoon, and lastly a butterfly.
