Sleeping with a Sunflower by Louise Riotte

Sleeping with a Sunflower by Louise Riotte

Inspiration for I'm Different came from remembering her own experience of being the only child in her kindergarten classroom who wore glasses, and from watching the struggles of her children and her students while learning to accept themselves and their imperfections. The book is an attempt to defend children from a world where perfection reigns, image is defined by the media, and attention is merited and dispersed most generously to those who excel. The book's message is to help children see their imperfections, differences, and life's scars, both inner and outer, as evidence that their uniqueness is intended as a gift inspiring them to their greatest potential.

Riotte, Louise: -

Beloved author and life-long gardener Louise Riotte passed away in 1998 at the age of 89. During her life, she wrote twelve books on gardening, companion planting, and garden lore, among them the ever-popular Carrots Love Tomatoes. Her father taught her how to practice astrology, while her mother was an herbalist. Together they greatly influenced her life and her books, including Roses Love Garlic, Astrological Gardening, Sleeping with a Sunflower, Catfish Ponds & Lily Pads, and Raising Animals by the Moon. Riotte was an artist as well as a writer, and her own drawings appear in all of her books. She took great pride in her garden near her home in Ardmore, Oklahoma.
