strange little fuzzy plant gets stuck right in the middle. It
floats, spins, and gets in the way of the big bright sun. The
sunflowers are curious and wonder what it could be. It is certainly
not like any flower they have ever seen. Could it be a weed? The
sunflowers are about to find out when the tiny plant suddenly lets
the secret out
In all their lives, none of the sunflowers have heard of a thing
called a wish-until the little plant with lots of hair tells them
about the magical secret locked within. The tiny plant is plucked
from the ground by a Wisher who barely makes a sound. The Wisher
whispers their secret in the tiny plant's hair and it gets carried
away by the air, it is goes far and wide-way across the big blue
sky. But it is only when a little girl appears that the sunflowers
finally understand how wishes really come true.
In this magical children's tale, the delightful secret of a wish
is revealed by a tiny plant with more power than anyone ever
imagined.

unconsciously from the works of their predecessors. It is as if
every story has within it an infallible truth, contained in the
echo of its original telling. The storyteller recounts the tale.
The listener hears, learns and remembers. In due course they will
retell the same tale, adding in something of their own. And so
listeners in time turn into storytellers. This inspiring book
brings together the stories from across the world of listeners who
themselves became storytellers. They reveal who influenced them the
most, what drew them further in, what they learnt, and what they
now wish to share with new generations. Tips, tools and tales: read
this book, and take your turn.
