That's It, Said the Dandelion cover

A dandelion seed fell on the soft grass.

‘Tell me,’ said she, ‘just what can I be?’

 As a dandelion turns from seed to flower to fluffy puffball, she wonders what life is all about.

A tender tale of growth and change.

delightful – a pleasure to read and to look at. Reminiscent of the work of Eric Carle … Simple in a way that looks effortless, this is the kind of picturebook that brings smiles to the reader and the audience, as it tells a sweet and rather profound story in well-chosen words and lush images

Waterford Libraries' Book of the Week 


in lyrical (non-rhyming) text, and via vibrant illustrations, this inspiring picture book introduces young children to the life cycle of a dandelion, but shows them much more besides … A rewarding reading experience for home and school - 5 stars

the smiling yellow dandelion on the cover made me pick up this picture book and cheered me up no end on a dull day. But did the story itself also make me smile? I’m delighted to say that it did. It’s hard to find simple, well-written books for very young readers and this one fits the bill perfectly … The jaunty illustrations are full of expression and the dandelion facts at the back of the book are an added bonus
