THE ORCHID AND THE DANDELION Why Some Children Struggle and How All Can Thrive

Earphones Award Winner

by | Read by Fred Sanders

Contemporary Culture • 10.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2019

Fred Sanders's touching narration captures all of the compassion this respected author feels for the vulnerable children he's spent his career studying. Sanders's tone and pitch convey tenderness that doesn't distract from the didactic aims of his audiobook. Boyce is a pediatric health researcher who says all parents know children who are orchids--those who are fragile, sensitive, and more prone to physical illness, psychological distress, and behavioral problems. They come into the world needing more care than the seemingly invulnerable dandelions of the world. Sanders delivers Boyce's hopeful message that with enough nurturance and the right kind of teaching orchid kids can escape a life of stress and discover avenues of achievement and connection that allow them to flourish.
