Hello!
Have you ever wanted to read a
children’s picture book to your child which was not only
great fun and interesting for them, but also really entertaining and thought
provoking for you?!
Well, look no further …. my children’s picture book ‘The Dandelion Who Refused to be a Weed’ has been trialled on lots of families and all the parents say, “there’s so much more to this book than in other children’s picture books, and the kids just love Dolores, the big bright bold dandelion. … they just want to keep reading it!”
The story is about a dandelion called Dolores, who can’t understand why she is called a weed when she is just as beautiful as the other flowers. One day, however, when a storm blows in, it’s Dolores who keeps her head while the other flowers lose theirs!
The book is beautifully illustrated with bright colours and designed to make any child or adult want to pick it up and read more. It is written from life experiences, which gives it a charming authenticity, and with a great humorous play on words - it’s a must-have read for any child!

The Dandelion Who Refused to be a Weed is full of beautiful brightly coloured
drawings. I loved how the dandelions had faces and arms giving them
personalities.
The story was unique
and would be a good one for helping children think about their own qualities,
how they are similar or different than other children and learning to see that
does not make them of more or less worth than others, just a person with
different qualities.
I rated this cute
little book with excellent lessons 4 stars out of 5.
Thank you to the
publishers for providing a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest
review. A positive opinion was not required. All thoughts were my own.
