Overview

Ana is an 8-year-old girl who struggles sometimes with telling the truth and her self-esteem. One day during a difficult family moment, Ana's adoptive mother shares with her the attributes and life-cycle of a dandelion; explaining that though the dandelion looks like a flower, some consider it a weed, not understanding its value - the way that Ana sometimes feels. Ana's mother explains to her that a dandelion doesn't need perfect conditions to grow, but just a seed of possibility; which is their hope for Ana in their family. This story is beautifully written with colorful illustrations to match. Book includes VOCABULARY, CHECK-ON-LEARNING, JOURNAL PROMPTS, AND AUTHOR EXTRAS. GREAT FOR CHILDREN, PARENTS, COUNSELORS, AND THERAPISTS! ISBN: 979-8-9860452-1-4

Dawn Charleston Green has woven together a story that will touch and uplift the soul. As a parent and as a Licensed Social Worker who works with children, I highly recommend this book to help us as we navigate those parenting conversations with our most precious gifts, our children. - Wilhelmina Purvis Bagsby, Parent, Licensed Social Worker, and Professional School Counselor I loved how the book teaches parents/guardians how to deal with dishonest children in a positive way; not always in a punitive way, but rather in a way that encourages child/parent engagement and dialogue that could help change negative behaviors. -Donneesha Martin Spivey, Parent & 3rd Grade Teacher When I read the draft, I was overcome with emotions from different perspectives; not only as a parent and an educator but also in memory of my younger self, who remembers feeling like young Ana in the story. Oh, how I wish 10-year-old me had this book; for my own experiences really relate to that of a dandelion. -Treska Haley Mitchell, Parent & Retired Elementary School Principal Heeyy Dandelion is a wonderfully written and illustrated book about a young, adopted girl whose mother uses a very special dandelion analogy to help her work through some of life's challenges. I especially love the way the mother lovingly explains things to her daughter resulting in a formative dialog between the two of them. I highly recommend this book! Yvonne M. Warren Heeeyy Dandelion is one of the best children book I have read. Being a mother of 2 adoptive children made this book a bit more personal for me. I love how it touches on self esteem because my middle child struggles with this everyday. It took me reading Heeeyy Dandelion to help me understand how I can help her to get through some of the things she's facing. This book needs to be on everyone's book shelf. If you need help connecting with your child(ren) this book is what you need. God Bless the author for sharing her story.- Carolyn Brown This was a beautiful children's book to share with my little. It was beautifully printed and I also purchased a coloring book. I had so much fun coloring with my little and being able to explain what words meant in clear context throughout the story. This is a great choice to add to your little's reading collection especially if they have a friend who may come from an adoptive home. Beautifully written and informative.- Raven Green-Harris This book is one for all ages. It is sure to inspire all that read it just as it did with me. Dawn provided the perfect book to boost self-esteem, provide self-love, and to truly embrace all that God has created you to be. Make sure to grab yours ASAP if you have not already. You will not be disappointed. - Jarkeisha McGahee
