The Prodigal Sunflower - Paperback

The short story of the Prodigal Sunflower is based off Jesus' Parable of the Prodigal Son found in Luke 15:11-32 in the Bible. The young sunflower grows bored in his garden home and is curious of what lies beyond the fence of Parson Bird's garden. His journey takes him on an adventure in which he is exposed to unexpected dangers and situations that are not as fun as he hoped they would be. When exciting exploration turns into peril Parson Bird is always watching out for Sonny and intervenes to save him from harm. When Sonny finally realizes that he wants to go home he is rescued by Parson Bird and restored to the safety of his garden home.
