    About this ebook

    The child who is too fat, too thin, awkward, shy, or different in some other way can feel friendless. One so self-conscious or alone would certainly want to have a friend who feels nothing but admiration, even protection, for this classmate. Such is the case with Roxanne and Floyd. She is an only child showered with wealth, luxury, and certainly everything she wants to eat. Floyd comes from a home so poverty-stricken that there often is not enough to eat or proper clothes for school. He admires Roxannes doll-like appearance and frilly silk clothes. She admires his quick-thinking bravery and never-failing laughter. These emotions come into play when their small school goes on a violet-gathering field trip and all sorts of pandemonium break loose.

      Gran's Story Iv - Sandra Sellers

      Gran’s Story IV

      Gathering Wild Violets

      Sandra Sellers

      Dedication

      I want to dedicate this book to my dad whose

      hardwood/evergreen forest was always available to the

      FFA when they studied tree identification. My children,

      grandchildren, and I often walk these woods.

      Overweight as a child, Ms Sellers well realizes the feeling of

      isolation experienced by the child who is different. She now lives

      near her children and grandchildren in deep East Texas where she

      enjoys cycling and treks through pine forests.
