The last dandelion seed clings to the flower until it is blown away to discover there is more to the world than it had believed.

Who we are.

Why we are here.

Where we come from and where we go.

Every child ponders life's greatest questions.

Here, in a nutshell, is a tale about life.

Consider the dandelion. It lives life fully, flies with beauty, survives storms, endures darkness, never gives up. It is one of nature's greatest success stories. Like dandelions, each of us can make the world a brighter place. The trick is to bloom right where we are. Back matter includes information and activities about dandelions and weeds, seed dispersal, and the theme of courage, patience, and perseverance.
