The Sunflower

Hey you!

Have you ever felt sad? Feeling not yourself?

My name is Sunflower.

I'll tell you a little secret just between you and me. I have a crush on the sun. I even named myself after her! There is only one problem. I am lost when the sun is not shining. I am miserable, sometimes even scared. For the longest time, I kept wishing to fast forward time to the part of the day when the skies are bright and sunny.

Why does nighttime have to come?

When will the sun rise again?

But then, I found something unexpected. Something beautiful. Something magical that I can only see in the darkness.

Curious?

Follow me as I share my story of how I find courage and hope in the midst of darkness. This is a great story filled with a beautiful whimsical journey of the life of a sunflower to simply remind us all of the importance of self-acceptance and finding the courage to look up no matter how dark the night gets. May you find the courage to look up and find the light during your darkest hours.

You are stronger than you think and remember, it is always the darkest before dawn.

The sun will rise again!

This is a great tool to open up conversations with your kids and students of how they're dealing with their emotions especially during the pandemic as the world around them change so much. The story is designed to portray how one Sunflower is using his courage and intuition as strength and allowing himself to be his authentic self at the end.

For every Sunflower book you purchase, a seed is planted on your behalf to symbolize hope and courage to look up in partnership with a local sunflowers farm.
