Consider the dandelion. It lives life fully, flies with beauty, survives storms, endures darkness, never gives up. It is one of nature's greatest success stories. Like dandelions, each of us can make the world a brighter place. The trick is to bloom right where we are. The book, also, includes information and activities about dandelions and weeds, seed dispersal and the theme of courage, patience and perseverance. Ages 4 to 10

An acorn grows into a mighty oak, helps sustain other life, and eventually dies and continues to give life to others.

By roadside or mountainside, the humble dandelion flowers every month of the year throughout the world, a fitting symbol of life. Its journey is our journey, filled with challenge, wonder, and beauty. Joseph Anthony's story of mystery and truth, and illustrator Cris Arbo's stunningly detailed illustrations make this book a joy for all.
