The Wildflower's Secret

By: Young, Barbara

Some flowers are planted and trimmed. Others are carried by the wind and grow wherever they

land.

When a dandelion is called a weed, it begins to wonder if it truly belongs in Mr. Higgin's yard. With

the help of its friend the violet - and a secret only wildflowers understand - it discovers something

powerful about blooming, belonging, overcoming bullying, and knowing exactly who you are.

your own way. Part of the Learning To Be Me collection by Barbara Young, this book is a perfect
