The Dandelion Seed’s Big Dream (Hardcover, Age 4-10)
New From Dawn Publishing! Out September 1, 2014!
Do you know that one memory I hope to never forget of my oldest daughter Brooke involves noxious weeds? Like most kids, Brooke is fascinated by all things found in nature and those ‘lovely’ dandelions that coat our lawn happened to be a particularly favorite topic for her as we walked along the grass. She thought they were just the best flower ever! I tried to explain how most people do not like these yellow flowered florets that turn into white seed heads that pollinate and take over your lawn…….and she always looked so puzzled as to why that would even be a problem. More dandelions = MORE dandelions! As she likes to say, “Hippie-Hoorah!” I still laugh as I remember her running into the house one day yelling, “I got you flowers, mommy!” and handed me about a half a dozen white seed-headed dandelions that had littered her path over the carpet inside. She looked proudly at me and said, “Now we can have dandelions INSIDE, too, mom!” and I said, “Thanks, Brooke.” Nice thinking.
The Dandelion Seed’s Big Dream is the latest book by Dawn Publishing that tells a tale of the life and determination of a dandelion seed. My preschooler finds this topic fascinating and would get quite upset when the seed head would have trouble making contact with the earth during the course of the story. It is so sweet to read it to her! Our favorite line:
They Bloomed in Their Own Time.
It is a great way to talk to your kiddos about things like seed dispersal and even the underlining theme of a life’s path filled with courage, patience and, ultimately, perseverance. Who would have thought we could get so many great lessons from that yellow weed!
