Circles In the Wind - Paperback

by Lynda (Author)

This picture book for young readers describes the life cycle of a favorite plant in gentle watercolor/ink illustrations and poetic prose.

A baby dandelion seed is pulled away from his mother during a fierce windstorm. Hanging helplessly beneath a fluffy white parachute, he is carried closer and closer to the dark storm cloud overhead.

Suddenly, a large raindrop forces the seed back to the ground where he snuggles into the earth and falls asleep.

Next, the wind, rain, earth, sun, and bees all support the magical changes that begin to happen.

And just when the story appears to end, it is ready to begin again.
