"Nonna says dandelions are..."

Are dandelions really weeds? This story is about a spunky Little Boy who befriends tearful Dandelion and teaches her why his Nonna says dandelions are God's favorite flower! This story encourages self acceptance by finding strength inside the ordinary!

I never really liked dandelions. In my eyes they were a weed that made our lawn messy. Every time my dad came up to visit I would light up to spy him tuck a screwdriver into his back pocket before our walks outside, because I knew he would dig out those nasty things. Years have passed though and I've become a little wiser. Now, in a playful, simple way, this Nonna teaches children and all those young at heart how dandelions are not only fun and make people happy, but you can eat every part of them and they can fix all kinds of owies!  Every part of the plant is edible being full of vitamins, minerals and amazing healing properties! This story encourages self acceptance by finding strength inside the ordinary!
