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

Reminiscent of the work of Eric Carle, this picturebook replicates the lifecycle of the dandelion in a way that is accessible and engaging for very young readers. Simple in a way that looks effortless, this is the kind of picturebook that brings smiles to the reader as it tells a sweet and rather profound story in well-chosen words and lush images … This collaboration between Reddy and Hahessy is delightful – a pleasure to read and to look at. The inclusion of dandelion facts at the end is a nice touch for those whose interest has been piqued by the story

This lovely story about the life cycle of a dandelion will bring a smile to your face. It’s both a gentle story about nature, and a wonderful heartwarming look at all the possibilities that lie ahead of us, and all the incredible things we can be in our own lives. It’s brilliantly simple, yet thought provoking and reminds us that we are the only ones who get to decide what we become
