Synopsis
Bruno the marmot hibernates all winter, and upon waking in the spring, he discovers the most beautiful dandelion outside his burrow. The two quickly become friends, playing together every day. But when summer comes, the dandelion asks Bruno to trust her, so he obliges her request to blow her seeds away into the wind. Devastated that his friend is no longer with him, Bruno is lonely until next winter?s hibernation. When he wakes again, he discovers that an amazing surprise sprouted while he slept. Here is an adorable book about the meaning of giving that will warm the hearts of young and old alike.
?This sweet, deceptively simple story effectively portrays the cycle of life to young children, . . . imparting a sense of hope and wonder.? ?Kirkus Reviews

Reviews
PreSchool-Grade 1–When Bruno, a marmot, wakes up from his winter hibernation, he finds a big, bright dandelion. The two become fast friends and have fun together for several days. Then, after going to seed, Dandelion asks Bruno to blow at her as hard as he can, promising, Everything will be just fine. He does so and is startled when all of the seeds fly away. Distraught at the thought that he has destroyed the flower, he clings to her vow that everything will be all right. As promised, when he awakes the following spring, he sees a big, bright dandelion beaming at him. Large pages with soft, whimsical illustrations in watercolor and pencil depict the changing seasons and the animal's emotions, which range from happy excitement to sorrow, then back to joy. While not a first purchase, this story is a good choice for sharing aloud and could lead to discussions about spring.–Sally R. Dow, Ossining Public Library, NY
