Only a Dandelion: A Collection of Short Stories and Poems for the Entire Family

A modern version of this vintage favorite. It is updated so that you can read it without the distraction of strange words, spelling and figures of speech. Little Spring Breeze wants to be helpful like his relative who boasts of bringing ships into port or even his uncle, Great Gust, who rattles windows, but what can someone his size do? How excited he is when he finally discovers a job he can do—carry seeds to be planted in a new place! But will the dandelion he carries be welcomed into its new garden? Find out with Spring Breeze. This delightful story is just one of the touching and instructing stories and poems that fill this little volume. There are inspiring stories to interest everyone in the family, separated into two parts by reader age. Caring for others, kindness, loving God and obedience are themes throughout. Elizabeth Prentiss wrote over two dozen books including fiction, poetry, and hymns. Her husband, Reverend George Prentiss, wrote: "Her pen moved always and only under a sense of duty. She held her talent as a gift from God, and consecrated it sacredly to the enforcement and diffusion of His truth." Only a Dandelion is a collection of poems and stories written throughout her life.
