Wildflowers of the Roadside — A Life, Observed Field Guide

The unassuming plants along the walk to school, at the edges of the field, in the gravel by the mailbox. Chicory, dandelion, yarrow, clover, and the rest of the quiet cast that grows where nobody planted anything. Each entry pairs an illustration with the plain-language details a child actually asks about: what colour, what shape, when it blooms, and whether you can pick it. Mid-Atlantic, March through October. Sized to fit a backpack pocket. Choose the instant PDF to print at home, or a printed booklet mailed to you.
