This is a children's book and so they are light and cool. There can be some pictures, than using so many words. Kids are not usually used to read these kind of books without pictures. Atleast one picture for each chapter should do, to keep the kids get interested.
The book focuses on the moral that kids should learn through this journey of the daisies that, our job is to bloom no matter where we are placed in the world.
Some favorite quotes: She'll tell you quick it's her way or the highway!

I recieved a free copy of this book from the author through the goodreads givaway and am glad I was chosen for a copy. This is a very cute story of two daisies who learn that life is what you make of it.
This book would have been greatly improved by the addition of pictures on each page and fewer words on each page. It didn't make a lot of sense to me; I got confused by some of the transitions from one subject to another.
