My Review
What a delightful story. Yolanda Riggins was determined no one was going to mess with her dandelion patch. Her patch was her special place. She made lot of wonderful treats from the patch. She goes through many people to try to save it. Can she do it? I guess you will have to read it and find out. Great story for children ages 5-12. Very well illustrated. Loved all the bright colors.
