The
Daffodils Still Grow was inspired by diary entries of the author/illustrator, Sherri Elizabeth
Tidwell, after the death of her mother when she was 14. “My mother committed suicide when I was 14, and after
nearly a year of crying and hurting, I was surprised -- almost shocked -- to
see the daffodils she planted right before her death still bloom again. It was
a big wake-up call to me that, even though she was gone, I could still carry on
without her FOR her. Somehow, our loved ones still find a way of communicating
with us when we need it the most." Sherri Elizabeth now attends Seton Hill
University’s MFA program in Writing Popular Fiction. She has a BA in both
communications and studio arts from Austin Peay State University. She
hopes that every parent will know how irreplaceable and loved they are to their
children and that every child who has lost a parent will know they are not alone.
Remember, the daffodils still grow!
