Can a small act of empathy change an entire community? From award-winning and Emmy-honored TV animator and author Donna Kay Lau comes a deeply moving installment in the beloved Surf Soup series. When a major island construction project threatens to displace a patch of local dandelions, Leilani refuses to stand by and watch. Stepping up to protect her tiny, overlooked plant friends, she embarks on a heartwarming journey that tackles the raw feelings of being "othered," finding individual value, and recognizing your purpose. Richly illustrated and packed with emotional depth, this book teaches kids that no one is too small to make a massive impact through grit, resilience, and compassion.
