Both a love letter to the dandelion and a call to love ourselves in a difficult world, m Oswpikones reminds us that we are not defined as others see us. Following our young protagonist and the dandelions through the seasons, we are reminded that we are resilient, we are healers, we are funny, and we are loved.
