"One day on the grey school playground, Sam notices something new. Against all odds, a little flower has sprouted in between the concrete and rubber turf. Sam adores the tiny bud. She sings to it, admires it, and watches it bloom into a bright yellow flower too large to hide...Soon the other students come to see it, too. The students wish a million wishes for the flower to stay, but the roots break free, and the flower's fluff floats off into the air. The weedflower is no more... until one afternoon in early spring, one hundred tiny buds pop up in the middle of the playground"-- - Perseus Publishing
A modern schoolyard fable about natureâs magical ability to encourage imagination, play, and joyâand a dandelionâs ability to always grow back
One day on the gray school playground, Sam notices something new. Against all odds, a little flower has sprouted in between the concrete and rubber turf.
Sam adores the tiny bud. She sings to it, admires it, and watches it bloom into a bright yellow flower thatâs ultimately too large to hide. Soon the other students notice it, too. Under their care, the flower thrives, illuminating the gloomy playground and eventuallyâmagicallyâchanging into one perfect fluffball that dances in the wind.
But when the adults take notice, they decide it has to go â¦
A sunny story with warm illustrations that will encourage readers to take notice of the natural world, The Weedflower makes for a great read-aloud. It will tie in well with environmental and character education curriculum while also highlighting the positive role that nature plays in our lives.
