The Daffodil Who Couldn't Dance

A rhyming story for every kid that's ever felt less-than because they were different-and a reminder that our differences are what make us special!

Because of the holes in his petals-Daniel the daffodil is not able to dance with the rest of his friends, but he'll soon learn embracing that difference is a wonderful thing. While trying so hard to fit in, he'll end up learning that standing out can be a beautiful gift.

"We must dance," said one daffodil.

"For that, we were made!

With wind under our petals, we'll bounce in the shade.

We'll get her attention, with our special dance show.

If we all move the same, that we're here, she will know!"

And so, the wind came, hitting them from behind. As the breeze hit their petals, they danced so divine.

But one daffodil, named Daniel, felt so much out of place.

As the wind would hit him, it went right through his face.

For his petals had holes, they could not catch the breeze.

If he tried catching wind, it might sound like a sneeze.

So unable to dance, this lone bud hid below.

He would hide who he was, so his friends wouldn't know.

This is a book about celebrating our differences, finding self-esteem, and loving yourself for who you are!
