Summary

Our story tonight is called Dandelions and Moss, and it’s a story about a craft project made from things gathered in the yard. It’s also about wishes and wire, memories of schoolyard games, making something with your hands at the picnic table in the afternoon sun and the magic of a moment preserved under glass.
