Ana is an 8-year-old girl who struggles sometimes with telling the truth and her self-esteem. One day during a difficult family moment, Ana’s adoptive mother shares with her the attributes and life-cycle of a dandelion; explaining that though the dandelion looks like a flower, some consider it a weed, not understanding its value - the way that Ana sometimes feels.

"When I read the draft, I was overcome with emotions from different perspectives; not only as a parent and an educator but also in memory of my younger self, who remembers feeling like young Ana in the story. Oh, how I wish 10-year-old me had this book; for my own experiences really relate to that of a dandelion."

"How we project on the outside is not always indicative of how we feel or what’s under the surface. Sometimes we may feel misunderstood, unseen, and unvalued. What I love about the dandelion is that it doesn’t need perfect conditions to grow. It just requires a crack of possibility. Knowing that. . .
It seems there is a little DANDELION in all of us "
~Dawn Charleston-Green, Author, Parent, Former Educator/Counselor, & Child Advocate
