The daffodils in this story are free; they are not plants with stems, leaves and roots in the ground. When the daffodils fall down, they cannot get up because they have no arms, hence they just lie about and die. In order to be able to live, they elect a King and he decides that they should become planted as bulbs in the ground. Then the daffodils return each Spring and, in a way, when the breeze blows on the fields of daffodils, they still bob up and down freely.

About the Author

The author is a native of Gloucester, Virginia--daffodil capital of the state!

A former teacher at Gloucester High School, Ms. Wiatt taught Physical Education, Health Education, and Driver Education for forty years.

A Roberta Wiatt is a composer, songwriter, and poet, recently having written the lyrics for a song in celebration of Gloucester's Ninth Annual Daffodil Festival.

Daffodils have always been her favorite flowers, and Ms. Wiatt began to find herself thinking of how magical it would be if those beautiful flowers were not confined to the earth, but could run free across the fields and hillsides.

The author thought it would be fun to write this daffodil story for her nieces and nephews. The author invited her sister-in-law to do the artwork and feels she did a job as beautiful as the daffodils themselves.
