Description

What is the simplest, most profound way to impart life lessons to a child? Imaginative stories—told through the experiences of benevolent, engaging characters—are fun for both parent and child.

In Dandelion Wishes, the characters are all from nature or fairy tales: dandelion seed heads, ladybugs and leopards, fairies, mermaids, kittens, conch shells, and more. The fable-like morals are familiar and treated lightly so as not to preach. Here are some of the delights your child will discover:

  • Enjoying the ride while sailing through change
  • There’s more to a person (or a bear!) than appearances
  • Everything feels better when you smile
  • Friends come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and aromas
  • Taking a risk (even though you’re scared) brings good things
  • Being yourself is the very best thing you can be

16 stories for children who enjoy being read to by their parents, and for children who enjoy curling up with a good book on their own. Ages 5-9.
