(4) K-3 Illustrated by Rob Dunlavey. A teary dandelion down to its last few seedpods shares with Sparrow its wish to be remembered; Sparrow decides to write the dandelion's "story" in some nearby dirt. A storm washes away the words, but the pods ultimately create new dandelions--the dandelion's "children." The story is not quite maudlin, and its cotton-soft art is just shy of treacle.
