Produktbeschreibung

Little Claire loves her garden, a place of peace and joy where she feels safe among the roses, pansies, and her very favorite daisies. But when a friendly daisy says hello, Claire's quiet world is turned upside down in the most magical way. Claire and Daisy become the best of friends, sharing secrets and talking about everything from busy bees to quiet caterpillars. But when Claire feels wobbly about her upcoming school play, it is Daisy who offers the kind, brave words that help her find her courage and shine on stage. Their happiness, however, cannot last forever. When Daisy's petals begin to fade, Claire must face a new fear: the sadness of losing a friend. Through a heartfelt goodbye, Daisy teaches Claire a final, powerful lesson about overcoming loss and finding strength inside herself. This beautiful picture book, with its stunning, detailed illustrations, is a warm and comforting story about a child's first big step toward independence. It is perfect for children who are learning to be brave and for families looking for a gentle way to talk about friendship, courage, and finding that a little bit of magic can bloom anywhere.
