A timeless fable that transcends generations, at the crossroads of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince and Richard Bach's Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

"I'm red and you are not.

I stand tall while you stay low.

My fragrance delights... and yours? Oh no!"

In a uniform field of yellow dandelions, a single rose is born—different, unique, misunderstood. Her journey through various floral worlds becomes a striking metaphor for our own search for identity.

This revised and expanded edition of The Rose Among the Dandelions invites readers into an immersive philosophical journey, where each encounter—with the wise Apple Tree, the mysterious Blade of Grass, or the fearsome Chief Rose—unveils a deeper truth about self-acceptance and the beauty of difference.

"I look back as far as I can see, and all I feel is night.

A star twinkles in an unimaginable sky.

My essence is there—unformed, yet fully present."

Written over thirty years ago, this poetic fable finds renewed meaning today, in a world awakening to the power of inclusion and neurodiversity. With accessible, lyrical language for all ages, Pierre-Luc Poulin invites us to reflect on what it truly means to bloom differently.

Much like The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho or modern retellings of La Fontaine's fables, this story unfolds in layers—resonating with children and adults alike. A gentle yet profound read that transforms the way we see ourselves and others.

Discover how the unlikely encounter between a rose and a dandelion can give birth to an entirely new flower—a perfect metaphor for the harmony that emerges when we embrace, rather than fear, our differences.
