Dandelion
by Rodoula Pappa/Lisa D'Andrea
Description
THE CIRCLE OF LIFE through the “eyes” of a dandelion seed. Through concise text filled with emotion we experience the wonder, joy and hardships a little seed goes through in its journey.
Brightly colored images bring the seed’s journey to life. We see the little seed carried by the wind from its flower bed, across fields and forests to city parks. The stunning artwork is filled with life and the feeling of awe at nature’s resilience and beauty.
Little readers learn about the four seasons and the life cycle of plants. We discover that nothing truly ends. We are all part of the circle of life.
To be born, to transform, to die and be reborn again.
