Comment from Gail Denham
Very interesting. So she just found this out about her grandmother. Quite unusual. So I assume the granddaughter had inherited some of the same characteristics? Hmmm, have to think on this one.
Good story

Maybe she has... she'll have to wait for her hair to turn white to find out...
Thanks for reading.
Comment from brenda faye curtis
This is an imaginative and enjoyable story, but I am confused about one thing--why is she a dandelion "clock"? In what way is she a clock?
Other than this, I find the story great, a good read for children.

Dandelion clock is the word used in England to refer to the fluffy white ball children like to blow on.
Thanks for reading.

Oh, okay! I've learned something today!
Comment from Dean Kuch
That would pretty much seal the deal and be proof positive for me.
Brooke Baldwin would have loved reading this story.
Every time I see a dandelion or hear stories and poetry about them I can't help but think of our adewpearl.
Nice story, as usual, Maria.

Thanks for your review, Dean.
Comment from Gloria ....
This is just terrific, Maria. So imaginative, a dandelion clock and Grandmother's bob blowing seeds with a puff of air. I am most impressed with your originality. Works like a charm.
Excellent indeed and perfect for Brooke. :)

Comment from Louise Michelle
I love it! Didn't know where you were going with this one, but that magical ending gets me every time! Yes, those poor dandelions get a bad rap, but Brooke knew better. Hugs, Lou

Thanks for reading.

Fifty-five in September... Time flies. I can't believe I'm this old. I still feel super young.

Me, too, most days. :)
Comment from Judy Swanson
A delightful little story, memorable, from a grandmother to a grandchild's ears. I had never heard the term "dandelion clock" before so had to look it up. I can see it so clearly now, in the artwork you choose, and in the seemingly millions of delicate dandelion fluffs the disburse the seeds far and wide to new adventures. I enjoyed reading this - and learning something.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written story about a grandmother who was a dandelion before she became a little girl and later on a grandmother, the unbelievable story is proved to be true.

This is a dandelion clock:https://www.google.com/search?q=dandelion+clock&client=safari&rls=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjy2vvR0dLhAhWyxoUKHZMiBeYQ_AUIDigB&biw=1440&bih=768
What do you call it?
-
I've no idea.Your answer came back with some lenghty Internet connections. I'm totally in the dark. I'm sorry. :)))
-
It's also called blowball. If you look at the picture that comes with my story, you'll see some dandelion clocks. They are the fluffy white things children like to blow on.

Awe, I've learned something new.I didn't know they were called that. :)))
