Poppy
loves nature and insects. She feels at
home with bugs but feels like a wallflower around people. When Poppy’s grandmother has a birthday
party, Poppy tries to stay quiet and hidden, but when a dragonfly lands in
Poppy’s hands everyone starts to pay attention to her. Poppy decides that she doesn’t need to be a
wallflower but can be a wildflower.
The
best part of this book is the adorable illustrations. Poppy is so cute with her big glasses and all
the ways she blends into the scenery.
There is also the lovely message of having a passion and sharing it with
others and how that passion is a part of who you are. Great for introvert children.
