Brief Description:
Daisy’s head is always in the clouds, but she still cares about things on
the ground—she just needs to find her own way to prove it. No matter where
she is or what she’s doing, Daisy’s imagination kicks in to make things
more interesting. Her braids become fishing rods; the teeter totter
launches her into space; the swings let her fly like a superhero. Most of
the time, it’s great fun. But sometimes it causes trouble. She folds the
little brother she’s supposed to be feeding and feeds the socks she should
fold. Worst of all, Daisy longs to be line leader on a field trip to the
aquarium, but the job is reserved for whoever can listen best to a lesson
on octopuses. As hard as she tries, Daisy just can’t keep the distracted
clouds from rolling over her head. Still, Daisy is determined to show her
teacher what she’s learned, in a way that works for her — she can draw! Daisy
pours her heart into an illustrated guide to the octopus, and earns her own
special job, as the field trip’s official artist. Brimming with Jennifer P.
Goldfinger’s humor and whimsy, Daisy the Daydreamer celebrates every child
who yearns to be appreciated for who they are, not criticized for what they
aren’t. Daydreamers, doodlers, and free spirits alike will empathize with
Daisy, and cheer her on as she becomes her own advocate.
