Overview

The Daisy and the Sparrow is a heartfelt fable about self-discovery, courage, and the quiet power of transformation. Daisies are both delicate and strong. They can grow wild or thrive in formal gardens when they are nurtured. But, in the rigid garden of the square flowers where Daisy spent more than thirty years of her professional life, she was ignored and did not fit in. She often felt like a weed among the square, gray flowers, unwelcome and undervalued. Rooted in fear and self-doubt, Daisy remained in that garden far longer than she believed she should. Then came Sparrow, an unassuming yet powerful presence with a sweet song. Sparrow helped Daisy awaken to her own strength and courage. A beautifully illustrated allegory for anyone who has ever felt out of place, The Daisy and the Sparrow invites readers to believe in their inner resilience and to bloom boldly in the garden where they belong. It also contains a workbook to help the reader imagine and find their perfect garden. It is the ideal gift for a friend in transition, a graduate, or anyone who needs a reminder of their own inner strength. This 68-page, full-color illustrated edition and personal workbook, is designed to be a visual and spiritual retreat. Each page pairs Denise Weiner's vivid watercolor artwork with prose that speaks to the soul, making it an object of beauty as well as a source of wisdom. The Daisy and the Sparrow is more than a book, it is a keepsake of encouragement. Created by artist and former corporate executive Denise Weiner, this book blends professional insight with artistic beauty to create a truly unique guide to personal fulfillment. Through the heartfelt story of Daisy, a wildflower trapped in a garden of conformity and Sparrow, the guide who helps her find her courage, this contemporary fable offers a gentle path to self-discovery. The process of writing and illustrating The Daisy and the Sparrow was actually a self-help journey for Denise. She is Daisy telling her personal story of searching for the garden where she could blossom. Daisy brings us on this journey with original watercolor art, with powerful prose and a personal workbook. The Daisy and the Sparrow is the perfect gift for anyone seeking inspiration, inner peace, and the courage to bloom in their perfect garden.

Author Information

Denise Weiner's journey from corporate America to artist and writer began twenty-five years ago with a watercolor class at a spa, an unexpected place to spark a new career. With over thirty years in communications, marketing, and international business, she learned that art and play enhance professional and personal life and keeps one healthy. She usually introduces herself as a ""recovered corporate executive""! Her love of color, design, and travel results in art filled with joie de vivre. Denise has captured the magic of castles and countrysides in Europe, dancing palm trees in the Caribbean, whimsical fairytales, and everyday life closer to home. Her passion is to show the beauty that surrounds us. In 2013, she published her first book, Art Lessons from Grandma, which illustrates how the power of art and creativity can teach important life lessons, bolster self-esteem, and build special and loving relationships with art. The Daisy and the Sparrow, her second book, is a contemporary fable about finding the special garden where you can blossom and find happiness. Denise is currently working on her third book, Rainbows and Unicorns, a children's story about a small girl who has big dreams of creating a world that is inclusive and beautiful. Denise has found her perfect garden and is living her dream life filled with sunshine, art, writing, and an active social life in the tropical paradise of Southwest Florida.
