(back cover) Dandylion is extraordinary. Dandylion brings a splash of color into everyone's life. But sometimes Dandylion is a little bit too unusual . . . Have you met a Dandylion yet? An empowering story about friendship, diversity, and finding your place (front flap) Dandylion by Lizzie Finlay He's the new boy in Miss Gardener's class, and he's the most unusual student the children have ever seen. For one thing, he isn't really a boy at all, but a very cheerful and fun-loving bright yellow lion. For another thing, he's rather scruffy, and he has a way of getting into all kinds of mischief. Soon, Dandylion's antics cause so much trouble that the children finally must talk to him about it. Dandylion goes home feeling sad, and not knowing what to do--until his wise old Grandpa-Clock gives him a hug and a gentle word of advice. (back flap) Children's author and illustrator Lizzie Finlay is inspired by bright colors, imaginative stories, quirky characters, and their adventures. She lives in Manchester, England, and considers her job to be the best job in the world.
