The Prettiest Daffodilis a delightfully illustrated and charming tale about Daphne Daffodil who learns to love herself just as she is with the help of a deer named Lucky. Daphne is a little yellow daffodil who lives on the edge of a forest surrounded by many other kinds of daffodils. She doesnβt think she is as pretty as the other daffodils with their showy colors and fancy petals. With the help of Daphneβs caring forest friend, Lucky, she learns that all of Godβs creations are beautiful, and that God did not create her to compare herself to others. Daphne learns to love herself just the way God made her. The enchanting watercolor illustrations, painted by the author, span the seasons in the life of a daffodil and showcase the many kinds of daffodils beyond the yellow ones that are most familiar. Educational information that describes fun facts about growing daffodils and a botanical diagram is included in the back of the book.
