The Sprightly Carrot's Dream

A carrot with a dream. A flower patch with a bully. An astounding transformation.

 

All Sprightly wants is the chance to thrive in the sunshine. Tired of being continually shushed by his fellow carrots, he's thrilled to realize he'd like life more as a beautiful bloom. But when he shares his exciting vision, he gets yelled at by a daisy and becomes the laughingstock of the entire flower patch.

 

Ignoring the taunts and riding his doggy friend to the nearby school for supplies, Sprightly does his utmost to produce the perfect fake paper petals. But when the wind picks up and rips his new outfit off, the cackling insults start up all over again.

 

Can the ambitious vegetable dig deep to become his best self?

 

The Sprightly Carrot's Dream is a heartwarming children's picture book. If you or your child like bright characters, clever problem-solving, and standing up for inner beauty, then you'll love Jennifer Tremblay's garden-variety tale.
