From School Library Journal:
Eve Tharlet lives in France.
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
