Publisher's Synopsis
Sweet little Dandelion lived all alone; her bed was a barrel, her companion, a bone. The soft green grass had been slowly replaced; leaving dirt behind in the path that she paced.In the daytime she'd wait while she watched passing cars. In the darkness she'd wish on all of the stars. In the winter she'd shiver; no escape from the cold. With no shield from the sun, summers got old.She yearned for a family and a nice, cozy bed; a scratch on the belly, a pat on the head. She dreamed of the day when SHE'D be the one, alongside a jogger for a brisk morning run.There was only one thing that brought Dandelion joy: a redheaded, freckle-faced, 8-year-old boy...Could a little boy be Dandelion's hero? Find out in this lyrical rhyming story from author Heather Leughmyer, part of her Kindness to Animals Series. Perfect for ages 5 and up, and excellent for both humane education and library and family story time.
