Daisy the Daydreamer
by Jennifer P.

Her braids become fishing rods; the teeter totter launches her into space; the swings let her fly like a superhero. Most of the time, it&’s great fun. But sometimes it causes trouble. She folds the little brother she&’s supposed to be feeding and feeds the socks she should fold. Worst of all, Daisy longs to be line leader on a field trip to the aquarium, but the job is reserved for whoever can listen best to a lesson on octopuses. As hard as she tries, Daisy just can&’t keep the distracted clouds from rolling over her head.Still, Daisy is determined to show her teacher what she&’s learned, in a way that works for her—she can draw! Daisy pours her heart into an illustrated guide to the octopus, and earns her own special job, as the field trip&’s official artist. Brimming with Jennifer P. Goldfinger&’s humor and whimsy, Daisy the Daydreamer celebrates every child who yearns to be appreciated for who they are, not criticized for what they aren&’t.
