In this gentle allegory of migration, the dandelions -who are just weeds after all – are forced to move on. When they are confronted with tools, machines and potions the dandelions grow pale and fragile. So they float, taking their hopes with them, and go on a journey to find a peaceful place to reseed and settle. 

 

I believe that to foster empathy, every child should have stories about the experiences of migrants. The Dandelion’s Tale was inspired partly by my own immigration experience. Everyone is familiar with cheerful yellow dandelions, and yet they are so under-appreciated!

‘Weeds’ are just flowers in the wrong place.
