The Daffodil Diary

The Daffodil Diary is a tender story of love, acceptance and friendship. The story begins when two girls who are from different cultures and places ask the same three questions: Does anyone care about me? Can anyone hear me? Will anyone understand me? Tessa and Daffodil find themselves and answers, too, on a fun journey of friendship with God and each other. The Daffodil Diary is a useful resource to help children process feeling alone, left out or forgotten. It may be from being bullied, called names or left off of a birthday party invitation list, but is something all children experience at some point in time. Sometimes children express feeling invisible and do not realize how important they really are. The Daffodil Diary will help children understand their feelings and receive comfort in knowing that other children have felt the same way. In addition, The Daffodil Diary will help children understand cultural differences. The book illustrates that external differences do not mean that children do not share similar feelings. Along their journey of friendship, the two seemingly different girls discover many ways in which they feel the same. For example, Daffodil feels alone because she is lost in the chaos among many siblings in a tiny home with nobody hearing her questions, while Tessa feels alone because she is an only child with nobody to talk to except her cat, Izzy. This heartfelt and helpful book is produced on behalf of Daffodils From Heaven, Inc., a non-profit organization with a vision of all marginalized people receiving and living out the truth that they are loved, valued and significant. Daffodils From Heaven, Inc. uses 100% of proceeds to give The Daffodil Diary to someone in need, often a child who has never owned a book before.
