# Wildflower - Hardcover

by **Melanie Brown** (Author), **Sara Gillingham** (Illustrator)

**_The Rainbow Fish_** **for kids who love the garden.**

**A moving picture book for ages 3 to 8 about a daisy who is told she's "just a weed"--and embarks on a journey to find her place in the garden.**

Daisy is new to the garden and just opening her petals to the sun when Rose tells her that she's just a weed. What's a weed? Daisy asks. Weeds aren't planted on purpose, Rose explains, and they only get in the way. Soon Daisy compares herself to other plants in the garden: she isn't tall like Sunflower, nor sweet like Strawberry, nor fragrant like Rose. Daisy worries that Rose might be right--that she is a weed after all--until a strange and beautiful plant offers Daisy a different perspective. Maybe Daisy can choose her own purpose! And why do others get to decide who she is?

**This sweet and empowering story is the perfect gift for teaching young children about:**

-   **Self-compassion and confidence.** Daisy learns that she is so much more than "just a weed" and that it's up to her to define who she is, not others.
-   **Everyone has something special about them**, and supporting one another can help us grow.
-   **The importance of loving yourself** exactly as you are.
