This book reminds us how important it is to 'stop and smell the roses' OR in this case 'stop and look at the daffodils.'

It also teaches us that through small acts we can accomplish great things!

A beautifully illustrated story!

Book Description
Every year, high in the San Bernadino mountain range of Southern California, five acres of beautiful daffodils burst into bloom. 

Amazingly, this special spot, known as "The Daffodil Garden," was planted by one person, one bulb at a time, over a period of thirty-five years
