Dandelion Snow

Rinat Primo's Dandelion Snow is both a happy and a sad book. During the school day, the children at Rainbow Kindergarden love playing in the beautiful fields at the edge of town. In a line, their teachers walk with them.

The book talks about the first winter rain and shows children running around amidst flowering meadows, which may confuse some children. In the United States, when the word winter is mentioned, most children don't immediately picture this.

They love all of the flowers, but the dandelion is their favorite. The bright yellow flowers fill the fields with joy. According to the children, dandelion tops look like grandparents with wispy white hair. Their hair flutters across the fields when gently blown.

Suddenly, a fence appeared. There will be no more green grass and flowering fields as new homes will be built in their place. Sadness fills the children's hearts. Where will all the flowers go? Where will they play?

As soon as the big yellow trucks arrive, they start digging up the fields. Their fields have turned gray. While on their way back to Rainbow Kindergarden, the children collect the dandelions and blow the white seeds everywhere.

New homes will appear next winter, as well as yellow dandelion flowers.

While the book is sad as the children lose their beloved playing field, it does end on a happy note.
