A Pocket Full of Daisies is the story of a mother teaching her daughter about how to talk about feelings by giving people they meet different colored daisies. Each color signifies a different feeling. All children need to know that what they say and do can make or break someone’s day. Empathy and compassion are not taught enough, and this book teaches children how what they say can impact those around you.
