BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Daisy is a young warthog. Her mama named her after her favorite flower, because they seem plain, but when you look closer they are beautiful. But the kids at school don't see her beauty and they tease her, calling her Thistle. So, Daisy spends her time alone, collecting things she sees as beautiful, because she looks closely.
The artwork is so sweet - Daisy's shy expressions are adorable, and her sadness is evident. The 2 page spread of her "treasure trove" is wonderful. I liked the story, I loved that all the children's names were flowers or plants. I liked the message about giving people a closer look to see what makes them beautiful.
