Reviews
"In her book, Fabiano encourages self-acceptance and appreciation of differences. While acknowledging that Dandelion doesn’t have the glamour of other flowers, the author provides good examples of her actual strengths. Vivid writing keeps the story from becoming overly didactic, as in 'The lavender spread their scent, bringing calm to all, while the daisies, with their golden petals growing from chocolate-coloured centres, spread like fire.' Discussion points also provide adults an opening to explore concepts further with kids.
A pleasing and realistic approach to self-esteem."

"Developing confidence, self-esteem and a sense of self-worth enrich our lives and Fabiano’s story is perfectly pitched at young readers who are beginning to learn the value of friendships and how to interact with others their age. Not only nurturing confidence but sparking important conversations and encouraging children to reflect on their unique characteristics.
Inspiring, empowering, and poignant at the same time The Perfect Dandelion proves a genuine gem of a read and is recommended without reservation."

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring read for anyone, not just children
"It is lovely to teach children to appreciate all of nature. Why should a weed be less respected because it has a different name. Wildflowers are just as beautiful. Children have a raw appreciation of beauty as it presents itself. It is only when they grow up that they become swayed by different perceptions of what they should find beautiful. Beautifully written and illustrated."
