Daisy is new to the garden and just opening her petals to the sun when Rose tells her that she's just a weed. What’s a weed? Daisy asks. Weeds aren't planted on purpose, Rose explains, and they only get in the way.

Soon Daisy compares herself to other plants in the garden: she isn't tall like Sunflower, sweet like a Strawberry, or fragrant like a rose. Daisy worries that Rose might be right—that she is a weed after all—until a strange and beautiful plant offers Daisy a different perspective.

Maybe Daisy can choose her own purpose! And why do others get to decide who she is?
