Rosie and the Christmas Poinsettia

Rosie and the Christmas Poinsettia

A gentle Christmas story about imagination, emotional bravery, and the seeds of appreciation.

Rosie Dayy is a sensitive, curious child who experiences the world through colors, textures, and emotional weather. When holiday noise grows too loud, she slips into her imagination—not to escape, but to translate the world into something she can hold. With her mischievous companion Bad Ted, Rosie discovers the Garden of Appreciation, a symbolic place where gratitude becomes light, trust grows like flowers, and community is built through small, steady promises.

This story blends Victorian floriography, emotional literacy, and neurodivergent wisdom into a warm, accessible Christmas tale for families, educators, and anyone who believes small kindnesses can change a room. Rosie’s journey shows that emotional courage is quiet, relational, and grown one seed at a time.
