The Daisy

Is it better to leave things to chance or simply listen to your heart? A colourful and tender book showing that self-confidence comes from making your own decisions.

 

 

Basile can never make a decision. That's just the way it is. So wherever he goes he takes a daisy with him to help him choose: Yes, no, yes, no... That's how he makes up his mind, whether it's about the little decisions as well as the big ones.

 

Until one day, at a picnic, a friend makes an unexpected request, whispered in his ear. He couldn't possibly ask the daisy for help. He will have to make a choice alone and with his heart...

 

A tender book about self-confidence and the need to listen to your heart. A lovely story for Valentine's Day!
